JERSEY CITY NEW JERSEY HUDSON COUNTY DIVORCE LAWYER MEDIATION

The New Jersey divorce judge denied the ex-wife's motion to change venue of the parties' divorce action. She claimed her ex-husband was an attorney who practiced in the area for years and had been director of Legal Services. No prejudice or showing of an inability to get a fair hearing was made. In addition, there was no abuse of discretion in denying the motion to vacate provisions of the New Jersey Judgment of Divorce, based upon alleged fraud committed by defendant. The New Jersey divorce agreement was entered into knowingly and voluntarily, with the assistance of counsel. Moreover, the motion was not filed within one year, as required by New Jersey Rule 4:50-2.     Rhody v. Rhody, New Jersey App. Div., November 15, 2007
