Question #63: My wife of 6.5 years and I have been separated for 17 months in NJ where we were wed and have been residing the whole time. We have no children together.

You get what you pay for! This is a matter too important to leave to

someone who is not a lawyer . If either party wishes to challenge the

division of the assets some time down the road it will be easy to do so

and you will end up in court with much bigger legal bills than you ever dreamed.

Without a formal Separation Agreement detailing the exact division of your

marital estate, you have no closure on the issues, which can be revisited

in years to come .
