I have seen your question.  My name is David Salvaggio.  I head a law firm that devotes its practice exclusively to New Jersey Divorce and Family Law matters.  It's all we do. Please feel free to take a look at our Firm Website (www.salvaggiolaw.net), which contains a lot of helpful information.  Based on the information you have given, you are most certainly entitled to something from your husband.  The first question will be: What is the monthly amount of each of your SSD checks?  If his is more than yours, you should be entitled to a portion of his check in order to "equalize" the payments.  The second question is: How much is the monthly payment that he receives from his Union pension? If you have no other source of income, you should be entitled to a portion of his pension as well.  I believe that you should meet as soon as possible with a very experienced lawyer who devotes his/her practice to New Jersey Divorce and Family Law matters.     Go over your situation in detail with the attorney, get educated answers to your questions, and obtain expert guidance as to the best course of action. In my opinion, it will be well worth the cost of the meeting. Your question does not specify the town in which you live.  My firm's offices are located in Morristown, NJ (Morris County).  If your location is such that you would consider having our firm represent you, I am willing to have a brief personal phone call with you (at no charge).  You can call our offices at any time of the day or night.  Our telephone number is 973-455-1220. Please leave a voice mail message if I am not available to speak with you when you call.
