Seeking Fair Division of Marital Property

New Jersey law requires equitable distribution of property and money in divorce. This does not mean equal distribution; it means that the property division must be based on what is fair given the individual circumstances of the marriage.

 

An experienced divorce lawyer will help you understand what sorts of outcomes the courts consider fair. That way, you can know what you and your spouse are entitled to under the law before you agree to any settlement or decide to pursue litigation.

 

Pensions and retirement funds can be divided by court order as part of the property division, whether there is a settlement agreement or not. This is called a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO). We can help you understand the rules for division of retirement savings and prepare the order.

 

Understanding Alimony and Palimony

Alimony is based on many factors: a big difference in earning power, a career put on hold to raise children, length of marriage, or a spouse's age or disability. Mr. Carbone can (a) negotiate the monthly amount, (b) negotiate a lump-sum payout or trade-off, or (c) represent you in court.

 

You can't get a divorce if you were never legally married. But if you lived together or had a marital-type relationship in New Jersey with a promise of lifetime economic support, implied or express, you can still be awarded ongoing support payments. We can negotiate or litigate palimony issues for unmarried couples — property division and, in some cases, ongoing monetary support.
