NJ Woman’s Guide to Amicable Separation Without A Judge’s Ruling
As a divorce lawyer in New Jersey, with decades of experience, I am a strong advocate for fair divorces and in my eyes that only really exists when you have direct input in the final outcome, and I do not mean at trial where the Judge finds most of what you say irrelevant and nobody wants to hear the drama, but I mean you have direct input and negotiate fair terms between you and your soon-to-be former spouse. Don’t get me wrong, many times you must litigate to the end, but that is rare if you sit down, take a breath, let emotions rest, and you can resolve the legal issues and NO, that does not mean that is easy, but it can be done, and we do it at GDM Online every day. So with that in mind, today we are focusing on women who file for divorce and their spouse is living in another State.
