In a recent New Jersey Appellate Division decision, the court affirmed Angelo Sarno's and Laura Guinta Gencarelli's appointment of a non-rabbinic arbitrator in a family matter involving a religious divorce agreement, reinforcing that courts may apply neutral legal principles without becoming entangled in religious doctrine.

The court also found the appellant was judicially e-stopped from attacking the same arbitration-selection framework he had previously relied upon.

This opinion offers an important look at the intersection of arbitration, family law, contractual interpretation, and religious-question doctrine in New Jersey.
