Question #9: I am in the process of separation right now with my husband of three years. We live in NC and have a two year old son. I don’t want this to be any harder than it has to. Can the one year separation period be waived? If it can what is your personal opinion on the effects on the child due to separation period and no separation period?

I strongly suggest that you contact and attorney-mediator in North Carolina who is familiar with the specific divorce statutes in your State and who can properly answer all of your particular State divorce questions including the question regarding avoiding a year separation period.

Question #8: Pertaining to separation and/or divorce, are there any laws in the state of New Jersey that prohibit boyfriend or girlfriend from staying overnight when children are present? Do you have access to a listing of Mediators in the state of New Jersey?

I am not aware of any law in New Jersey or any other state which expressly forbids a boyfriend or girlfriend from staying over night when children are present, but the courts have looked askance at such practices, especially when […]

Question #7: I am currently in a bitter divorce proceedings in Texas. My husband of 8 years, does not want to get a divorce. I am active duty. My husband assaulted me, after telling me that he would never grant me a divorce. I had a co-worker take pictures. After he took the pictures he shot it up my chain of command. When my husband got called in (he is civilian) he filed adultery charges through the military against me and a mutual male friend. In the mean time my husband put a tap on my phone with out my knowledge. My question is can the conversations on an illegal interception on wire communications allowed in the divorce proceedings? He also informed me that he had tapped conversations and I feel he is black mailing me. What can I do? My attorney is currently out of town. Thanks.

I am not familiar with the wiretap laws in the State of Texas and I strongly recommend that you find your attorney and get the proper legal advice. Generally, such conversations are both inadmissible and in New York State they are illegal. Leonard M. Weiner, Esq./Divorce Solutions

Question #2: I live in the state of Oklahoma, Tulsa co. When is it legal to date during the divorce period? Some have told me right after filing a person can date, but I am unsure. Thank you.

I am not aware of any state statute which prohibits an individual from dating, whether before or after divorce papers have been filed. Nevertheless, I think you should seriously consider the possible outcome of dating and becoming seriously involved with another person before you have actually received your divorce. Bigamy is still illegal in most […]
