I am about to get married, what can I do to protect myself?

Bari Zell Weinberger
Answered by attorney Bari Zell Weinberger
Divorce lawyer at Weinberger Divorce Family Law Group, LLC
Thank you for your question. You are in a predicament for certain.  You’ve invested 5 years of your life into a relationship that is tainted and you still have the stamina to resurrect the trust and love you have in him.  The good news is that he is in therapy and therefore he recognizes his foibles.  As a legal matter, the marriage document does not make you a joint debtor unless you co-sign or otherwise agree to assume those liabilities.  A pre-nuptial agreement is the way to protect assets for sure.  If you have significant assets you should get a family lawyer to prepare such a document prior to your marriage.  If not, be sure to maintain separate bank accounts and DO NOT co-sign any loans and/or assume any debts he has already incurred.  Ultimately should he default in any payments, the creditor will pursue his assets including wage garnishments and bank levies.  But it cannot and will not seek payment from you.  So remember to keep a separate checking and savings.  I sincerely hope your marriage will be a success otherwise.  Just so you know every married couple has issues and debt.  You are not alone but at least your husband to be is seeking therapy.  Be sure you are included in that!  Best wishes.

Do all assets become half owned by your spouse after marriage?

Janice Fabiana Alfred
Answered by attorney Janice Fabiana Alfred (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at South Atlanta Family Law
Not all assets are deemed marital property. Typically, assets acquired prior to the marriage and inheritance or gifts from third parties are not considered marital property. If the two of you agree on how to divide your property you can draft a settlement agreement that deals with all the issues and the method in which the transfers will occur. It is essential to address all important issues in the settlement agreement because the court will incorporate it into its order when the divorce becomes final.

Can i file to modigy in NJ a Virginia divorce judgment?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Divorce lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You have to get the Virginia divorce authenticated and recognized in New Jersey.  It is consisdered a "foreign" judgment.  If your ex-spouse still lives in Virginia it might be better to modify the judgment in Virginia so that it is enforceable.
