TestOn August 1, 2012, in State v. Duprey, the Appellate Division altered the landscape of domestic violence hearings in New Jersey and their parallel criminal cases. Prior to Duprey, the law in New Jersey had been that “testimony given by the plaintiff or defendant in the domestic violence matter shall not be used in the simultaneous or subsequent criminal proceeding against the defendant.” N.J.S.A. 2C:25-29(a).
The New Jersey Appellate Court in a case called Jacoby v. Jacoby, ruled that a child’s attendance at college – including “living” at college – is a change in circumstance which should lead to a review of the amount of child support being paid.
The State of New Jersey has been discussing the issue of “Lifetime Alimony” lately. However, in this blog post, we are discussing “limited duration alimony” which most people think is for a term less than the length of a marriage…. Except in this case:
In January 2003, two people, Minitee and Bland robbed a spa in Fort Lee, New Jersey. When the officers arrived at the scene, individuals in the area pointed out a red SUV blocked by traffic at a light and indicated that the occupants were armed and had just robbed the spa. Mr. Bland, holding a gun, jumped from the SUV and ran from the scene (considering he is now a defendant, it should be clear—he got caught).
