Supreme Court of New Jersey

Sydney Weishaus, Plaintiff-Appellant and Cross-Respondent v. Marvin Weishaus, Defendant-Respondent and Cross-Appellant

June 9, 2004180 N.J. 131

Summary

The Supreme Court held that trial courts may, at their discretion, approve an uncontested divorce settlement that includes a support provision without making marital‑standard‑of‑living findings, reversed the Appellate Division’s error on the calculation of that standard, and affirmed the trial court’s conclusion that the plaintiff could maintain a comparable lifestyle; the case was remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
