My question involves a marriage in the state of: New Jersey
Hello - I have two questions please:
1.) What would the court consider my date of separation considering the following:
- we decided to end our relationship and moved to separate residences on Sep 1, 2015 and after this date kept all finances and bills separate (i.e as if single)
- my spouse started dating and having a sexual relationship with someone else for a few months after Sep 1, 2015
- We did not meet or continue the relationship from sep 1, 2015 to May 1, 2016 in any way
- After being required to leave my state in May 1, 2016, I decided to meet her up, to at least restore friendship despite an unworkable relationship. In this period we had sex with each other two consecutive weekends.
- After this event in May 2016 we did not see each other again and have since filed for divorce in september 2016.
So considering the above -> what date would the court decide the date of separation to be? Aside from the sex, all other bonds were effectively cut on sep 1, 2015 but i do not know how the court will interpret this?
2.) Am i allowed to leave the state after filing for divorce?
I filed for divorce in september 2016 and have been a resident of NJ for at least 18 months prior. Since i am no longer employed in NJ would it be possible, or allowed, for me to leave the state or would this cause problems with the divorce process? In short, i would prefer to live with my parents for free while unemployed.
many thanks for any input!
thank you
