Getting a Jewish Divorce – "A Get"

If you are contemplating getting a divorce and you reside in Lakewood, chances are you may require a Get.  This is a legal release by a Jewish husband “freeing” his wife from their union.  A get is a written document that been written by a sofer in the presence of a Beit Din, a Jewish court of law.  Even though women can initiate a get, under Jewish law, only the husband can grant the get.  Absent receiving a get, a woman is not allowed to be released from her marriage and unable, in religious circles, to remarry or have legitimate children.  Although many Jewish people contemplating a divorce focus on the get, it is important to remember a civil divorce, according to the law of New Jersey, must be obtained as well.  The attorneys at Villani & DeLuca, P.C., have 4 attorneys specializing in the area of family law.  They are located in Ocean County and are intimately familiar with all aspects of family law, including the emotional toll obtaining a get can cause.

Elders and Divorce in Lakewood

Many people, although older, divorce later in life.  Older couples face unique issues that can play a factor in divorce, including health concerns, retirement asset concerns and a general loss of youth fear.  A major issue in an elder divorce is the division of retirement plans.  This requires careful attention in the preparation of paperwork for your divorce.  Often times a separate court order called a Qualified Domestic Relations Order “QDRO” is required to cover the division of retirement benefits.  The attorneys are Villani & DeLuca, P.C. are well versed in all aspects of retirement and divorce including, but not limited to, retirement distribution and avoiding tax penalties; survivor benefits, social security benefits post-divorce, and 401K loans and repayment.
