Question: Can the court force my ex to get back into the workplace and get a job? I’m breaking my back working so much just to afford the child support and alimony that she’s living off of. I pay so much to them that she doesn’t even need to get a job. In no way is this fair. So can it be done? Can the court tell her to get to work and start contributing?
Why must I pay? I have joint and 50/50 parenting time. Both of us are remarried. Both of our spouses are employed. She chooses to be a stay at home mother. I choose to work. But, because I work I must pay child support and reward her for remaining at home. I provide her a room, clothing and amenities, better than her mother. I am currently disabled. I went to the court and they stopped the support accruals. To accomplish this I claimed discrimination. Yet, if LTD or Social Security kicks in I will probably have to pay a portion to my ex. Why am I penalized for a choice she made to stay home? While married she earned $75k, bonus, and stock options... she is capable of working. She is college educated with a degree in math.
Question: I'm a police officer going through a divorce and am out of work as a result of a job-related injury. I have filed a workman's compensation claim for my injury disability but am still getting my regular paycheck since the injury was work-related. My wife is asking for half of the awarded claim when I get it for lost wages. Is she entitled to this? I have no lost wages at this time. Answer: Allow me to preface my answer to your question with the disclaimer that I am not licensed to practice law in the state of New Jersey. In the jurisdiction where I practice, the portion of the award attributable to your lost wages is marital property. However any award attributable to pain and suffering on your part is not marital property, it is your separate property. |
