Monmouth County Domestic Violence Defense Attorney
No matter how good the idea may seem, leaving the family home while your divorce is pending is not a step that should be taken lightly. Moving out could affect the outcome of your divorce. It is important that you consult an experienced lawyer before making your final decision. The Krompier Law Firm in Freehold is here to help New Jersey men such as you weigh the costs and benefits of decisions like these.
Leave When Leaving Is Best
If you move out, you are opening the door to alimony and child support, not to mention moving expenses and the financial impact of switching from a two-earner household to a single-earner household. Judges will not be sympathetic to your plight. If you are burning your paycheck on rent at your new place and your old mortgage payments, judges are not going to give you any extra leeway when it comes to support payments.
However, you should leave when leaving is best. If you have been threatened with domestic violence, it may be time to leave. Just as importantly, if you think your spouse could accuse you of domestic violence, getting out is a good idea. Even a single accusation of domestic violence can work against you. A conviction will stick with you for life.
What to Consider When Looking for a New Residence
Moving out may be a good idea, but moving onto your friend's couch a hundred miles away may not be, at least if you have children. The courts look for stability when making decisions about child custody. They are going to want to see that you have a solid household with adequate sleeping arrangements for your kids. The location should be as close to the marital residence as possible. Attorney Douglas I. Krompier MBA LLC will make certain you don't overlook details like these when leaving the family home.
