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.

This is not a question that can be answered here.  You have many issues going on including custody, support, alimony, marital assets.  You really need to meet with an attorney for a consulation about all of these issues.  If you are in Ocean County, call my office and I will help you.

Richard Scott Diamond
Answered by attorney Richard Scott Diamond (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Diamond & Diamond, P.A.
Yes. The fact that your wife left you, left the state and left the country does not mean that you cannot move forward with a divorce. The biggest issue in this type of proceeding is the service of process upon your wife of the filed complaint for divorce. After you file the complaint for divorce with the court system, you then need to arrange to have a copy of that filed  complaint for divorce personally served upon your wife, with your wife signing paperwork acknowledging her receipt of the paperwork. If you cannot get her to agree to accept the paperwork and sign the acknowledgement of service of those papers, then you need to hire a process server in her country to personally serve the papers on her and then he signs a paper acknowledging that he personally served her. That paperwork is then filed with the NJ court system and then the clock can begin to run on the period time under the statute to respond.  If you don’t do it correctly ( as explained above), the court cannot proceed with a divorce matter for you. In this setting, it is probably worth your while to hire a competent divorce lawyer knowledgeable in this procedure and who has access to process servers around the world.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
