What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey.
After 8 years of marriage I separated from my husband for a period of 18 months (NJ), and filed for and was granted a no fault divorce. There were no children.
I used Pre-Paid legal services. My ex-husband wanted the house, and as we were upside down on the mortgage, I agreed. I, inturn, took our time share, and we were basically done. At no point in time did my counsel mention or point out to me that I was entitled to a portion of his social security. I found out recently that our divorce was granted 6 weeks shy of our 10 year anniversary, which would have been the bench mark for participation. Do I have cause to move against the law firm on dropping the ball on this piece of information?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
