HACKENSACK NEW JERSEY BERGEN COUNTY DIVORCE ATTORNEY

The Appellate court affirms the New Jersey divorce judge who (1) awarded $33,000 per year in limited-duration alimony for 14 years, which was rationally linked to the graduation of the parties' youngest child and was based on the ex-wife's role as full-time homemaker and child-care provider, (2) vacated as contrary to Lepis v. Lepis the provision that barred any reduction in alimony unless the ex-husband's gross annual income fell below $80,000 or the ex-wife's total annual income exceeded $30,000, (3) affirmed the order that enforced the New Jersey judgment of divorce by requiring the ex-husband pay 75 percent of the camp expenses for the children, and (4) affirmed the award of $2,300 in attorney's fees to the ex-wife.   Schwartz v.
