PARSIPPANY NEW JERSEY MORRIS COUNTY ALIMONY DIVORCE MEDIATION LAWYER

The New Jersey divorce judgment required the ex-husband to  pay $500 per week in permanent alimony. On appeal, this decision is affirmed. The New Jersey divorce judge did not err in applying the ex-wife's "projected standard of living" when calculating her need, nor in considering the impact of equitable distribution and her full earning capacity. Moreover, the alimony award was fully justified based on his own earning capacity before the marriage and his earning capacity established during the marriage. The alimony award was "fully justified" in light of these considerations and the provisions of N.J.S.A. 2A:34-23(b).      Majkrzak v.  Majkrzak, New Jersey App. Div., February 13, 2008
