New Jersey Family Law: Responding to the Complaint for Divorce

When served with a Complaint for Divorce, a prospective client will ordinarily ask – “what should I do?” Typically, in a New Jersey divorce, there will be four (4) alternatives:

1. File an “Appearance” in which the allegations requesting the divorce are not contested, but contesting the customary issues of the divorce proceedings;
2. File an “Answer” in which the allegations contained within the Complaint are denied and dismissal of the Complaint for Divorce is requested;
3. File an “Answer and Counterclaim” in which the allegations contained within the Complaint are denied, dismissal of the Plaintiff’s Complaint for Divorce is requested, and a counterclaim for divorce is made whereby the Defendant makes his or her own claims for relief; or
4. Do nothing, which may result in default being entered.

Generally, when service of the Complaint for Divorce is made upon the Defendant, a proper response must be filed within thirty-five (35) days of service, exclusive of the day of service. Although the time for filing and serving a responsive pleading may be extended in some instances by either consent of the parties or by Court Order for good cause shown, a served party should consult with an experienced divorce attorney as soon as possible to determine which form of response is appropriate under the particular circumstances of the case.

The New Jersey Rules of Court permit a Defendant to file a written appearance and, without filing an Answer, be heard as to the issues of alimony, equitable distribution of property, custody and visitation, child support, attorney fees and costs, and other issues incident to the divorce proceedings. Alternatively, a party may wish to file an Answer if he or she desires to contest the grounds for divorce or other collateral issues – the Answer responds to the specific allegations of the Complaint, admitting the allegations that are true, denying those that are false, indicating when he or she does not have knowledge or information to sufficiently respond, and asserting any affirmative defenses. If the party filing an Answer desires any affirmative relief for any cause of action that may exist, he or she may wish to file a Counterclaim.

On the other hand, when a served Defendant fails to file a proper response with the Court, default may be entered. Of course, if a party wishes to be heard as to any issues pertinent to the divorce, he or she should file a timely responsive pleading. However, as explained in Clementi v. Clementi, 434 N.J. Super. 529 (Ch. Div. 2013), by the Honorable Lawrence R. Jones, J.S.C., recently retired of the Ocean County Superior Court, when a Defendant defaults and fails to participate in the divorce proceedings, the Plaintiff is not automatically entitled to all requests he or she has made; rather, the Plaintiff “still has an ongoing obligation to persuade the Court, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the proposal for equitable distribution is fair and equitable under the specific facts of the case.”  Nonetheless, a served party should immediately consult with an experienced divorce attorney as soon as possible to ensure that his or her interests are protected.

If you have any questions in regards to divorce in New Jersey, equitable distribution, or any aspect of family law, you may wish to consult with an experienced attorney. This article is for information purposes only, and is neither legal advice nor the creation of an attorney client relationship.

New Jersey Family Law: Irreconcilable Differences as Grounds for Divorce

 

New Jersey law has been gradually evolving to allow for easier termination of “dead marriages” regardless of fault. Fault of either spouse has continued to decrease in significance, while the impact of filing for divorce based upon fault is ordinarily not significant. It is important to note that each divorce matter is different, and it is essential that each case be evaluated based upon its particulars. It is also important to note that, to properly file a complaint for divorce, the jurisdictional requirements must be met and a valid marriage must be in existence at the time of filing.

 Although the New Jersey legislature has expressed its policy to terminate “dead marriages,” merely showing that a marriage is “dead” is not enough for divorce under New Jersey law – the parties and situation must meet specific statutory criteria before a court can terminate the marriage. Pursuant to statute, so long as all of the circumstances permit, a party may be granted a divorce based upon any of the following grounds:

1. Adultery;
2. Willful and continuous desertion for twelve (12) or more months;
3. Extreme cruelty;
4. Separation (separate habitations for at least 18 consecutive months);
5. Voluntary addiction or habituation to narcotics or habitual drunkenness;
6. Institutionalization for mental illness;
7. Imprisonment for eighteen (18) or more consecutive months after marriage;
8. Deviant sexual conduct; and, as is most common,
9. Irreconcilable differences.

Effective January 20, 2007, divorce may be adjudged in New Jersey for irreconcilable differences that have caused the breakdown of the marriage for a period of six (6) months and which make it appear that the marriage should be dissolved and that there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation. Filing for divorce based upon irreconcilable differences will ordinarily allow the complaint for divorce to be shorter, less intrusive upon the privacy of the parties and, hopefully, will allow the proceedings to be less contentious.  

 

If you have any questions in regards to divorce in New Jersey, equitable distribution, or any aspect of family law, you may wish to consult with an experienced attorney.

New Jersey Probate & Estate Litigation: Executor’s Power to Compromise, Contest, or Settle Claims

A Last Will and Testament confers upon every executor thereunder, in the absence of a contrary provision in the Will or in a court order, a wide-ranging set of administrative powers authorizing him or her so to act, provided he or she acts in good faith and with reasonable discretion.

Pursuant to the New Jersey Probate Code, unless otherwise limited by judgment, order, or the governing document, an executor, administrator, or trustee shall have the power “[t]o compromise, contest, or otherwise settle any claim in favor of the estate, trust, or fiduciary or in favor of third persons and against the estate, trust, or fiduciary.” As specifically referenced in the statute, this power also applies to New Jersey Transfer Inheritance Tax, New Jersey or Federal Estate Tax, income or other taxes.

As with the exercise of any power, an executor or administrator must always act “in good faith within the sphere of their powers, and exercise the care, circumspection and judgment of persons of ordinary prudence and sagacity.” Pursuant to New Jersey case law, if the only reasonable action under the circumstances would be to bring action to enforce a claim, the executor is under a duty to bring the action, but, if it is reasonably prudent to pay, release, compromise, or settle the claim, the executor has the power to do so – an executor “may buy the peace of the estate he represents, and extinguish doubtful claims against it, provided he acts discreetly and in good faith.”

In sum, in administering an estate, it is essential that the fiduciary understand the scope of his or her authority, proceed cautiously, and, as permitted by statute, that the fiduciary retain an experienced attorney in the event he or she has any questions or concerns as to whether he or she is taking an appropriate course of action.

Because estate administration, estate litigation, and Will contests require particular knowledge, you may wish to consult with an experienced attorney if you have questions regarding a loved one’s or your own Last Will and Testament, your or your loved one’s Power of Attorney, suspicions of undue influence, the probate process, administration of an estate or trust, fiduciary obligations, preparation of a formal or informal accounting, refunding bonds and releases, and the procedures for removing an executor or administrator from office.

New Jersey Probate & Estate Litigation: “When Will I Receive My Inheritance?”

In administering an estate, beneficiaries of the estate will routinely ask – “when will I receive my inheritance?” The answer, of course, is – “it depends.”

Ordinarily, it will take approximately one year to complete the administration process and, in fact, distribution of an intestate’s property is not supposed to be made prior to the expiration of one year after the granting of administration. Ideally, administration can be completed within this time; however, the exact timeframe is unpredictable based upon numerous factors including the disposition of any real estate, tax issues that may arise, issues with creditors of the estate, and the degree to which any litigation ensues. For example, in the event that an Estate Tax Return must be filed, or judicial intervention becomes necessary, an administration period of two years or more may be necessary.

Pursuant to the New Jersey Probate Code, an executor or administrator is under a duty to settle and distribute the estate “as expeditiously and efficiently as is consistent with the best interests of the estate.” Furthermore, an executor or administrator “shall proceed expeditiously with the settlement and distribution of a decedent’s estate and do so without adjudication, order, or direction of a court, but he may invoke the jurisdiction of a court, in proceedings authorized by law to resolve questions concerning the estate or its administration.”

While it is necessary for the fiduciary to proceed expeditiously, it is essential that he or she observe the requisite standard of care; specifically, that he or she “observe the standards in dealing with the estate assets that would be observed by a prudent man dealing with the property of another.” Also, if the personal representative has special skills or is named personal representative on the basis of representations of special skills or expertise, he or she is under a duty to use those special skills or that expertise. In the event that the fiduciary fails to proceed expeditiously, or fails to properly administer the estate, action to compel settlement of the estate or to remove the fiduciary may be necessary.

Because estate administration, estate litigation, and Will contests require particular knowledge, you may wish to consult with an experienced attorney if you have questions regarding a loved one’s or your own Last Will and Testament, your or your loved one’s Power of Attorney, suspicions of undue influence, the probate process, administration of an estate or trust, fiduciary obligations, preparation of a formal or informal accounting, refunding bonds and releases, and the procedures for removing an executor or administrator from office.

New Jersey Probate & Estate Litigation: Action to Remove an Executor or Administrator

Pursuant to the New Jersey Probate Code, an executor or administrator of an estate, a trustee, a guardian, or an agent under a Power of Attorney may be removed from office for the following reasons:

(A) After due notice of an order or judgment of the Court so directing, he or she neglects or refuses, to timely file an inventory, render an account, or give proper security; 

(B) After due notice of any other order or judgment of the Court made under its proper authority, he neglects or refuses to perform or obey the order or judgment within the time fixed by the court; 

(C) He or she has embezzled, wasted, or misapplied any part of the estate committed to his or her custody, or has abused the trust and confidence reposed in him or her; 

(D) He or she has removed from the State of New Jersey or does not reside therein and neglects or refuses to proceed with the administration of the estate and perform the duties and trust devolving upon him; 

(E) He or she is of unsound mind or mentally incapacitated for the transaction of business; or 

(F) One or two or more fiduciaries has neglected to perform his or her duties or to join with the other fiduciary or fiduciaries in the administration of the estate committed to their care whereby the proper administration and settlement of the estate is or may be hindered or prevented.

New Jersey case law is clear that, when a fiduciary is appointed by Will, removal by the Court will be granted only sparingly and with great caution; generally, Courts are reluctant to remove a fiduciary appointed by Will unless there is “clear and definite proof of fraud, gross carelessness, or indifference.” Furthermore, where the facts for and against removal are disputed, a plenary hearing must be held.

Because estate administration, estate litigation, and Will contests require specialized knowledge, you may wish to consult with an experienced attorney if you have questions regarding a loved one’s or your own Last Will and Testament, your or your loved one’s Power of Attorney, suspicions of undue influence, the probate process, administration of an estate or trust, fiduciary obligations, preparation of a formal or informal accounting, refunding bonds and releases, and the procedures for removing an executor or administrator from office.

New Jersey Probate & Estate Litigation: Action to Compel Inventory of the Decedent’s Property

Generally, New Jersey law does not require that an Executor or Administrator file an inventory of the decedent’s assets as a matter of course. However, pursuant to the New Jersey Probate Code, the Court may force an Executor or Administrator to file an inventory of all real and personal property of the decedent “which has come to his hands, possession or knowledge or into the hands of any other person for him.”

Procedurally, an application to compel the filing of an inventory is brought in a summary manner by way of verified complaint upon an order to show cause, and is brought in the Superior Court, Chancery Division, Probate Part of the same county of appointment. By statute, an application to compel the filing of an inventory by the estate’s personal representative cannot be filed until three (3) months after appointment of the personal representative; however, limited exceptions may apply to this timeframe. Similar to the filing of a fiduciary accounting, an interested party may file exceptions to the inventory of the personal representative; ordinarily, a party may except to the inventory on the basis that the Administrator or Executor failed to include certain property in his or her inventory.

An inventory is intended to notify all interested parties of the assets and liabilities of the estate, and to presumptively fix the values of real and personal property. Therefore, it is necessary that appraisers be designated in accordance with the Probate Code. In any event, it is imperative that the personal representative’s inventory be specific, detailed, and accurately describe all assets, real and personal property, debts owed and claims.

Because estate administration, estate litigation, and Will contests require specialized knowledge, you may wish to consult with an experienced attorney if you have questions regarding a loved one’s or your own Last Will and Testament, your or your loved one’s Power of Attorney, suspicions of undue influence, the probate process, administration of an estate or trust, fiduciary obligations, preparation of a formal or informal accounting, refunding bonds and releases, and the procedures for filing a formal accounting / inventory or exceptions thereto.

New Jersey Personal Injury Law: Things to Do After a Car Accident

Following an auto / car accident, a prospective client will ordinarily ask, “what should I do?” The following is a general guide as to some of the necessary steps to take if you have been injured in a car accident. It is important to note at the outset that no two cases are alike, and issues regarding insurance coverage, PIP coverage, or compensability of your injuries can be very complex – if you have been injured or have any questions in regards to personal injury law or your car accident, you should immediately consult with an experienced personal injury attorney. This article is for information purposes only, and is neither legal advice nor the creation of an attorney client relationship.

Most importantly, if you have been injured, you should immediately seek necessary medical attention for any injuries sustained. To allow your treatment providers to properly diagnose and treat your injuries, it is necessary to inform any EMS personnel, doctors, nurses, and surgeons of your symptoms and complaints, as well as how the injury occurred. Failure to seek treatment immediately upon injury can obviously have serious consequences on your health – additionally, failure to properly document your injuries and treatment could be harmful to any claim you may have.

It is extremely important that the accident be properly documented and that all necessary information be gathered. Therefore, it is essential to immediately report the accident to the local police department, or to the New Jersey State Police depending upon the location – of course, this assumes that your injuries are not so severe so as to prevent you from doing so, or that you do not require emergency medical attention. Similarly, it is necessary to obtain the name, address, telephone number, license plate number, insurance information, and driver’s license number of everyone involved in the accident and any witnesses, while you should also make note of the weather conditions at that time, any observations of traffic signals or devices, commercial or other markings on any vehicles, and any possible contributing factor to the accident (cell phone usage, pedestrians, odor of alcohol, etc.).

To the extent possible, photographs should be immediately taken of the accident scene, any visible injuries, all vehicles involved, and any property damage. With today’s technology, your cell phone or tablet could be an easily accessible way to preserve this important evidence.

Next, any statements made at or about the time of the accident may be critical to your claims or defense; statements made to first responders, investigating officers, or any medical treatment providers will more-likely-than-not be presented if any claim is made as the result of the accident. Therefore, it is imperative that you exercise the utmost discretion in any statements you make to anybody. Generally, because your words could easily be misinterpreted or twisted against your interests, it is suggested that you not unnecessarily discuss the accident or your injuries with anyone other than your attorney or your treating doctor – insurance companies are notorious for soliciting statements that could later be used against you. On the same note, be sure to consult with your attorney prior to signing any documents.

It is worth noting that New Jersey has a Statute of Limitations that prevents the filing of a personal injury complaint or claim petition for workers’ compensation benefits after two (2) years from the date of the accident in most instances. Furthermore, if you wish to pursue a claim against a public entity or governmental agency, or any employee of a public entity, you must give timely notice of the intent to file a claim, which is ordinarily within ninety (90) days from the date you knew or should have known of the cause of action. Failure to bring a claim within an applicable time period may cause any claim you may have had to be barred forever. Therefore, if you have been injured and wish to seek compensation, it is imperative that you do so immediately upon sustaining injury.
