🌟 The ABCs of Family Law: Inheritance Edition🌟

In a divorce, the question of heritance becomes important. Typically, inheritance is deemed as separate, rather than marital, property. This is because a spouse typically receives an inheritance through a gift or a different avenue that does not include a joint effort.

Nonetheless, there are always exceptions. Sometimes, inherited assets are combined with marital assets, such as when the funds are deposited into a joint account. In this case, the inheritance becomes marital property subject to division under the equitable distribution property.

At Leslie Law Firm, we will guide you through the sometimes-confusing world of finances, reviewing state laws that ensure your inheritance will be properly handled. 💪

🌟 The ABCs of Family Law: House Edition🌟

In a divorce, the house is a highly coveted asset that both parties often want access to. In New Jersey, the equitable distribution property helps settle the difficult question of home division.

NJ Courts will first assess if the home is considered marital property or separate property. Then, division options are considered. The parties can choose to sell the house and divide the proceed buyout the home (in which one spouse buys out the other’s share of equity in the home). Additionally, one spouse may have exclusive occupancy over the house—often the case when children are involved.

At Leslie Law Firm, we will help you settle this highly contested issue in an equitable fashion. Moving out of the family home can be emotional and difficult, so we are here to make this process as manageable as possible. 💪

🌟 The ABCs of Family Law: Gathering Information Edition🌟

In a divorce, it is vital to find, review, and gather critical information that will help attorneys better understand the facts of your case. This information not only allows your attorney to help YOU but also develop and strengthen your case.

This process of gathering information, also known as discovery, asks the client to find their financial records, property records, communications, and perhaps witness testimonies, school and medical records, and depositions. There are three main discovery methods: 1) Interrogatories, which are questions that are asked under oath; 2) Requests for Production, which are, simply put, official requests for specific documents or communications; and 3) Subpoenas, which are legal orders that ask a person to gather documents or testify.

At Leslie Law Firm, we will guide you through the process of gathering and finding the documents that will best suit the specific needs of your case. 💪
