Last month I wrote a blog titled, “What can I do if I discover that my ex was hiding assets during our New Jersey divorce?” More recently while conducting research on this topic, I remembered a case I handled years ago as a New Jersey Divorce Attorney that is right on point.
I nice woman came to see me a few weeks following her divorce. She was quite emotional as she tried to explain how she was “screwed over” in her divorce (my office did not represent her in the divorce action). My first impression was that she was simply suffering from “buyer’s remorse” and was unhappy with her global divorce settlement. Also, when I heard that her ex-husband was already remarried, I inevitably wondered if she was bitter that he would remarry so quickly. However, as I pressed further for facts, the clouds suddenly began to clear.
