Divorce Options And Assets

Summary

In New Jersey, divorce involves equitable distribution of assets, considering factors like property ownership and business valuation. Alimony depends on income disparity and financial needs. Property acquired during marriage is subject to division, regardless of whose name is on the deed. Courts evaluate contributions and needs for fair distribution. Alimony is assessed based on marriage duration, financial need, and earning capacity. If one spouse is retired with social security income and the other has business and rental income, these factors influence asset division and alimony decisions.
