In a divorce, can spouse still get mail from mailbox if on deed on house but not resident?

Richard Scott Diamond
Answered by attorney Richard Scott Diamond (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Diamond & Diamond, P.A.
The short answer is yes, he can get his mail. It sounds like you are more concerned that he is continuing to pick up his mail from the mailbox so that he can monitor you and whether you are home. If that is your concern, then I suggest that you can ask him directly or through counsel to put in place an address change with the post office so that he is not coming around the house, since it makes you uncomfortable. Alternatively, you can tell him that you will put together all mail addressed to him and leave it in the mailbox on a specific day each week so that he can pick it up.  If his actions become overly antagonistic or become harassing in nature, then have your lawyer communicate with his lawyer, telling him that you view his actions as in the nature of harassment and that if he does not change same, you will consider relief from the court system. If you do suggest that his actions cross the line into harassment, make sure that your lawyer details the actions constituting the harassment so that he cannot claim that he was unaware of it. But harassment has to be more than him simply taking his mail from the mailbox.

How can I get in touch with an attorney that can help me in proceeding with annulment of my marriage of only two months? What is the approximate cost?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Divorce lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
The causes of action to be able to seek an annulment are very specific.  they can be found in the statutes. § 2A:34-1. Causes for judgments of nullity    (1) Judgments of nullity of marriage may be rendered in all cases, when:a. Either of the parties has another wife, husband, partner in a civil union couple or domestic partner living at the time of a second or other marriage.b. The parties are within the degrees prohibited by law. If any such marriage shall not have been annulled during the lifetime of the parties the validity thereof shall not be inquired into after the death of either party.c. The parties, or either of them, were at the time of marriage physically and incurably impotent, provided the party making the application shall have been ignorant of such impotency or incapability at the time of the marriage, and has not subsequently ratified the marriage.d. The parties, or either of them, lacked capacity to marry due to want of understanding because of mental condition, or the influence of intoxicants, drugs, or similar agents; or where there was a lack of mutual assent to the marital relationship; duress; or fraud as to the essentials of marriage; and has not subsequently ratified the marriage.e. The demand for such a judgment is by the wife or husband who was under the age of 18 years at the time of the marriage, unless such marriage be confirmed by her or him after arriving at such age.f. Allowable under the general equity jurisdiction of the Superior Court.If you do not have one of the claims listed above, you can not get an annulment and it might be easier to file for divorce.  If you would like to discuss the cause of action, and whether you meet the requirements, feel free to call my office.

Can I kick my husband out of the house if I bought it?

George Nebbie Seide
Answered by attorney George Nebbie Seide (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Shulman Family Law Group
A legal separation is not a divorce. It can only be obtained if both parties agree. If no agreement then it is a dissolution. If the house is in your name and he won't move out, you can file for dissolution and ask the court to order him to move. The threat of violence is very helpful. Otherwise you will have to try to evict him through an unlawful detainer action.
