Jersey City Divorce Attorney — Tue, 15 May 2012 22:43:00 GMT

Divorces in the State of New Jersey, like elsewhere in the United States deal with a variety of issues including: alimony, child support, child custody, relocation, division of assets, and parenting time. Divorces in Hudson County and Essex County are no different. Some cases involve one parent seeking to relocate to another state with the child(ren). While one parent (the one who is staying in New Jersey) is upset, it is important to know that the courts favor parents who leave when they are leaving for a good reason. What is a good reason? For a new job, for a safer area, for a better quality of life. What is not a good reason? To spite the ex-spouse/boyfriend, to prevent visits from the ex. Have you done your research? How are the schools? How safe is the area? How are the job prospects? These are very important factors that must be outlined to get a judge's approval. We at the Artusa Law Firm handle many relocation cases in the State of New Jersey and if you seek to relocate with your child and you have custody or if you oppose a move, contact us today on 201-706-7910 today.

New Jersey Family Law Attorney — Tue, 08 May 2012 15:44:00 GMT

People often seek to leave the State of New Jersey to relocate with their child or children with the hopes of a better life for them and their children. While you may be considering a move out of state with your child, you need permission from the non-custodial parent. If you cannot agree, you must seek a court order from a Judge approving or disapproving the move. There are several factors concerning a relocation case in New Jersey, some include: what is the reason for the move, what parenting time are you willing to offer the non-custodial parent, how are the schools in the other state, the doctors?, recreational activities?, job opportunities, cost of living?. The court needs to know the answers to the above before making a clear decision. The State of NJ favors the happiness of the custodial parent because it has a direct affect on the children. Also, the age of the children is very important and their opinion as well depending on their age. If you seek to relocate outof the State of New Jersey with your child and cannot agree with the non custodial parent, contact us on 201-706-7910 to see how we can assist you today.

Want a divorce but cannot find hudband or wife

New Jersey Family Law Attorney — Tue, 08 May 2012 15:35:00 GMT

For every divorce action in New Jersey and around the country, service must be completed in a fashion acceptable to the rules of the court. In New Jersey divorce actions, divorce must be by process server/sheriff unless directed/ordered by the court or if your spouse accepts service from you. Now, we know how frustrating the process can be if you cannot find your spouse because a divorce will not be granted. The court wants to see that a diligent inquiry has been conducted before a judge will order that regular service is not needed. This could mean: contacted your spouse's relatives, sending mail to the most recent address, contacting the department of elections, postmaster general, motor vehicles, conducting an internet search with results and beyond. The team at the Artusa Law firm has successfully gotten people divorced through divorces by publication but you must be patient and be willing to pay a premium for the service because it requires a lot of work. If you seek a divorce from an absent spouse in New Jersey contact us today on 201-706-7910.

I want to see my child, Judge Lisboa, Judge Rogers

New Jersey Family Law Attorney — Mon, 07 May 2012 15:15:00 GMT

Often people come into my office and/or people go to court because they want to see their child or children and the mother or father does not "permit" it. For the most part, this is unacceptable. Just because you do not have residential custody does not mean the other party has the right to withold parenting time from you. Een if you do not pay child support you are able to see your child. You should be paying support but that is not the main factor in seeing your child, safety and the best interests of that child are the key factors. Judge Severiano Lisboa and Judge Rogers often hear these "FD" docket cases in Hudson County at the Superior Court located at 595 Newark Avenue in Jersey City, NJ. The judges do not like to hear a parent cannot see their child, they also do not like to hear that child support is not being paid. If you have a parenting time case in Hudson County contact us on 201-706-7910 if you seek an attorney. Thank you for visiting our site today.

Damage Control, I paid all bills during marriage and now what?

New Jersey Family Law Attorney — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:06:00 GMT

Many people believe that because a spouse paid all the bills during the course of the marriage that now the marriage is over that their duty is done, unfortunately for that person, this is not true. Damage control is the term I use to work with people who have paid the majority of the bills and "marital lifestyle" and now seek a way to limit the "damage" or limit the amount of alimony that must be paid. It is very important to speak with a lawyer that can defend alimony claims because once the judge determines that alimony must be paid, it must and will be paid, one way or another. It is critical to negotiate if alimony is a factor in the case, how to limit the amount and how to shorten the term of alimony if possible. Again, whilealimony is not the most important aspect of each case, it certainly is important if you have to pay alimony. Hudson County divorce lawyer Santo Artusa represents people who seek alimony and/or seek to defend against it. If you have a divorce case in Hudson or Essex County and seek representation contact us on 201-706-7910 today.
