We are not married but i have been the father to her child since she was 2. She has custody of her but if she passes before we get married i want to know what to do to keep her with me and her brother with my fiancé.
I think I understand your question to mean that you have been raising the child of your significant other for some time, and now you are facing a situation in which your significant other may pass away. Your question is highly complex, and a lot would depend on whether the other parent of the child... Read more »

Tell him to request a public defender, he does not have to defend himself if he doesn't have the money to afford a lawyer. As for the case standing still unfortunately due to covid cases are moving much slower than prior to the pandemic.
They want 15.000 one wants 4.500 one wants 3.000 my husband recently passed in July so I'm out of work any way he could get a pro bono lawyer
If your son is indigent and cannot afford a lawyer, the court will appoint an attorney for him called the public defender. That being said he needs to tell this to the court that he does not have the money for an attorney.
Family believes the life insurance should be part of the estate even thought it was left in my name snd not theirs.
As a general rule, life insurance proceeds payable to a named beneficiary are NOT included in the decedent's probate estate. The law presumes that the decedent meant what she said when she named you as the sole life insurance beneficiary. It is a very tough presumption to overcome. Your... Read more »
My son's father owes a lot of money to child support. I've been leaving in New Jersey for over 3 years and haven't found how can I transfer my case. Please help. Thank You!
I am going to presume that you have an existing probation department account elsewhere and your ex was obligated to pay his child support through that account.
Your ex was in arrears on his child support payments and owed you a lot of money.
You then moved to NJ 3 years ago, and... Read more »
Weapon involved (machete)
Yes the person can sue Walmart, one of the grounds could be for failing to provide adequate security, but a lawyer would need much more information to tell you if you had a "good suit" I suggest that you setup one of the free in office consultations that most of us lawyers offer for this...

for adoption ,my step daughter is 10 now
You need to retain an experienced matrimonial attorney, who will file a complaint to involuntarily terminate parental rights of the mother and for you to adopt the child.
Not legally and why would you want one. Bankruptcy is a very complex area of law and a significant number of things can go wrong in what you might consider a simple Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Only licensed attorneys are licensed to practice law. Choosing a cheap attorney can often lead to expensive... Read more »
We had a company that was incorporated 12 years ago in NJ and we just got a notice of a big lawsuit that we were included in and they sent us a request to waive service of summons and a cash out settlement agreement. If there is no longer a company or bank account can we still be held liable for... Read more »
Your question is far beyond the scope of this forum, or what an attorney would be able to provide in a free consultation.
I do medical transcribing parttime from home. The group I work with was audited by NJ 5 years ago and fined because the transcribers that live in NJ supposedly need an s-corp license, not an LLC. This applied to only those who live in NJ. Why? I opened an s-corp this year and the cost of running a... Read more »
An "S" Corp is the accountant's best friend and your worst enemy. You need to retain an experienced licensed attorney to custom draft the documents required for an LLC. If you are not at least a 3 member LLC the "corporate veil" that protects you from liabilty can easily be pierced.
in the process of purchasing a new home. Mom is putting the down payment down, gifting to me. Condition is, she wants to be on the deed of the home so as to say, when she passes, her portion of the home will be willed to me and I will have majority ownership of the home. What issues might I run... Read more »
A very easy solution that will eliminate many concerns for both you and your mother. Instead of being placed on the deed. She is given a mortgage in the face amount of the money she is lending you to buy the home. The mortgage has a safe harbor rate of interest payable once yearly, just the day... Read more »
As that is engaging in the practice of law, I do not believe so
This has to do with IP and the fair use act doctrine.

You should consult with an attorney
I bought my son and myself ancestry.com kits for Christmas. It was something fun to do. A gift where we could find out more about our ethnicity. My ex was fine with it. She asked me to see if a certain person was listed on the site to see if there was a connection back in May. The other day... Read more »
Thank you for your question. Whether you violated a custody agreement depends on the language of your specific agreement. Based on the information provided, it appears that you consulted with her prior to obtaining the ancestary.com kit and she gave her consent for your child to participate to be... Read more »
In short, I just want to know how to decipher a primary infraction from a secondary infraction
It's hard to tell sometimes, but generally it is written in the law if they cannot stop you for the offense.
If you have lived in New Jersey for more than 1 year, NJ can have jurisdiction over your divorce. My suggestion is to sit down with a divorce lawyer and discuss whether NJ is the best place for the divorce to take place or whether there are other options available to you.

Not sure what the outcome of your wife's domestic violence complaint was - but the outcome of that proceeding is critically important to the current status of your divorce matter and the status of your custody proceeding. If nothing else, you need to sit down with a family law specialist to... Read more »
Because of his negligence, the job has to be redone
Yes, it is possible to receive your money back and even be awarded treble (ie 3x the amount of damage sustained) damages and attorney's fees. NJ has very strict rules governing home improvement contracts. The best advise is to seek legal advise from someone familiar with home improvement litigation.
The short answer is that not all states require divorce mediators to be accredited. In fact, New Jersey is one of those states where there currently are no licensing requirements to simply hang out a shingle claiming to be a credible Divorce Mediator.
Notwithstanding the lack of state... Read more »
If the couple wishes to have separate finances but to raise their child together (so that the child doesn't have to go to 2 houses) until he goes off to college, can they stipulate to file a divorce then? Thanks!
Thank you for your question. Your question is a bit confusing because a postnuptial agreement is made after the marriage but before the divorce. Such agreements are scrutinized but can be approved under certain circumstances. Now a Marital Settlement Agreement made in anticipation of divorce is... Read more »
