Did you file a joint income tax return with your spouse or former spouse only to find out later that he or she omitted income on the return?

Maybe, for example, Bob was skimming money off the top of his construction business and gambling it all away in Atlantic City. His wife Sue had no knowledge of these activities and signed joint returns that failed to report all of their income. A few years later, Bob and Sue are divorced, and Bob has relocated to unknown address. The IRS now discovers Bob’s omitted income from the previous years. They want to collect, but can’t find Bob, so they turn to Sue. Does Sue have to pay all of the unreported taxes?

Restrictive covenants come in several forms such as confidentiality agreements, covenants not to compete (non-competition agreements), and non-solicitation agreements. Generally, these agreements are enforceable in New Jersey. However, the enforceability of these agreements varies depending upon the conduct that the employer wants to restrict and the manner in which they intend to restrict the conduct.

If you own or operate an assisted living facility in New Jersey you need to be aware of the “spend down” provisions in your resident agreements. Or face the possibility of having to pay for the care of residents for the remainder of their life in the event that your assisted living facility closes or relocates.
