How can you keep a soon to be ex-husband's girlfriend away from your children?

Answered by attorney Barbara Peyton (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peyton & Associates
You would have to show that she creates a risk of harm to your children. If you cannot, there is no valid reason for her to be kept away from your children.

I divorce in 1988 my ex-spouse deceased in 2016 I never signed A QDRO. He remarried am I still entitled to any part of his pension

Richard Scott Diamond
Answered by attorney Richard Scott Diamond (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Diamond & Diamond, P.A.
According to the information provided, it appears that you were married in 1976 and divorce in 1988 and in the divorce agreement, you either got no portion of your former spouse pension plan in the division of assets or the agreement was silent as to your entitlement to share in your former spouses pension plan. If this information is correct, then you have no claim or entitlement to share in the "marital portion" of his pension plan. For you to have an interest in his pension, the starting point would have been the divorce agreement. If the agreement did not provide for you to have a piece of that plan, then you would not have been entitled to a QDRO ( qualified domestic relations order) for a portion of the plan.

Will ex husband bring another woman to live in the house (our house) ?

Bari Zell Weinberger
Answered by attorney Bari Zell Weinberger
Divorce lawyer at Weinberger Divorce Family Law Group, LLC
Thank you for your question. I understand how concerned you must be about your living situation when you just went through the divorce process.   The short answer is that it depends on the terms of your divorce agreement and your specific living arrangements. We would need to analyze the divorce decree and any written agreements in place to accurately analyze your options and decide how to move forward.   I understand that you need answers and need to protect yourself. I strongly suggest that you schedule a consultation with a family law attorney who has experience with New Jersey law as soon as possible, so that you can understand the implications for you and your family moving forward.
