June 5, 197465 N.J. 186

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the trial court's grant of divorce to the husband, upheld the child‑support and attorney‑fee awards, rejected the constitutional challenges to the equitable‑distribution provisions, and reversed and remanded the portion of the judgment that excluded the husband’s post‑adultery assets, holding that marital fault may not be considered in property distribution.
