MORRISTOWN NEW JERSEY MORRIS COUNTY DIVORCE MEDIATOR BANKRUPTCY

After their New Jersey divorce, the ex-husband filed a petition in bankruptcy. In the divorce, the ex-wife charged him with various acts of brutality, resulting in a $400,000 Tevis personal injury award. Both the divorce and bankruptcy proceedings were marked by his "extraordinary dilatory and vexatious tactics". Then, while post-divorce and post-bankruptcy proceedings were pending, the ex-wife was murdered. The ex-husband was arrested, indicted and is now awaiting trial, while professing his innocence. Meanwhile, he now alleges that his daughter [individually and as administrator of the estate of her mother] wrongly sought enforcement of the New Jersey Judgment of Divorce as to his social security benefits and police disability pension. HELD : the ex-husband interfered with the orderly processes of justice in the Bankruptcy Court and in the New Jersey divorce proceedings. He is not entitled to any relief. The Court abstains in favor of the New Jersey divorce court.   In Re Galtieri, U.S. Bankruptcy Ct., D.N.J.; September 4, 2007
