Karolina Dehnhard, Esq. Answers Questions on
“COHABITATION: What It Means and How It Affects Alimony”
M
any women are at risk of losing their alimony once they enter into a new relationship based on recent changes made to the state’s alimony statute regarding the term “cohabitation”. Karolina Dehnhard, Esq., Chair of the New Jersey Matrimonial and Family Law Practice Group at Norris McLaughlin in Short Hills explains some of those modifications and their impact.
Karolina Dehnhard, Esq.
What is the state’s alimony statute? The alimony statute, updated in 2014, allows the courts to suspend or terminate alimony in the event of cohabitation. Importantly, the court does not have the ability to modify alimony; just suspend or terminate it. Even more so, the Legislature included language that explicitly stated that simply because a couple was not living together, that did not mean that they were not cohabiting.
p u o r Air G e r e h was
What are the parameters of the financial gain to the wife that must be proven? With respect to cohabitation, the courts have said that each case is distinct and rests on its own facts. Financial gain as a result of cohabitation could be as simple as having a significant other that helps pay your bills or takes you on vacation occasionally. It could be someone living with you and contributing to the rent or mortgage, or it could be a partner who is covering all of your expenses to the extent that alimony is no longer appropriate. Other examples include joint bank accounts or conjoined expenses. Does the change mean that a woman would lose total alimony or is it on a scale depending on the financial support from the new relationship? The revised alimony statute states that “alimony may be suspended or terminated if the payee cohabits with another person.” (N.J.S.A. 2A:23-32(n)). As noted above, the length of the relationship is relevant and the court “may not find an absence of cohabitation solely on grounds that the couple does not live together on a full time basis”. Since the final language of the statute says “suspend” or “terminate”, it has thus far been read to mean that a court only has those two options. Therefore, it is possible that entering into a significant new relationship following a divorce can lead to the suspension or termination of entitlement to alimony. Once terminated, alimony cannot be resumed if the new relationship does not stand the test of time.

The Egan Group at HighTower Advisors:
Putting the Client First By Deborah Schapiro Photos by Dan Epstein

Vicinity Magazine â€
F
inding a financial advisor these days isn’t difficult; in fact, it can be as easy as walking into your nearest bank. Finding a financial advisor whose only goal is to give you great service, however, is another matter. Vicinity Magazine spoke recently with John Egan, Managing Director and Partner of The Egan Group at HighTower Advisors, about what sets his team apart from other wealth management firms. September 2019
Patrick McCahill & John Egan
What exactly is The Egan Group? The Egan Group is above all a team. My title is Managing Director, but all of my clients are all of our clients. We are different from other financial advisors in that we are a fiduciary. This means that, unlike large financial firms or banks, we’re not trying to meet sales goals by selling a product. We charge a fee for our services, based on the complexity of the client’s situation.
What types of assets do you handle? We don’t actually hold assets. After lengthy discussions with a client, we help him or her open an account in one of the four well-established, highly reputable firms we work with. The firm is the custodian; we are the advisors. Since we don’t work for any particular firm, we can be truly dispassionate about what is right for our clients. Retirement planning is a big thing for us. We take into account the client’s social security earnings, health insurance, savings, and many other factors to help him or her decide when it’s safe to retire. We also do a lot of work in the areas of estate planning and college savings.
Tell us about your typical client and the services that you provide? The Egan Group handles comprehensive financial planning. Many of our clients are retired, thinking about retirement, or in the process of leaving a big corporation or selling a business. We have deep meaningful relationships with our clients and handle many facets of their financial life. For a typical client, we build a financial plan to show how their retirement will look and how their assets will pay them an income to last their lifetime. We are the investment managers of those assets on a fiduciary basis where we charge a fee, not a commission. We also handle all our clients tax planning including preparing their tax returns. We are responsible for keeping client’s documents in order including their estate planning, wills,
power of attorneys, health care directives, trusts if needed, beneficiary designations, etc. The Egan Group helps our clients with distributions from retirement accounts and services such as home purchase and sale, property management, purchase of lease of an automobile, Social Security planning. As we mentioned before, we are a one stop shop for all aspects of a client’s financial life.
Tell us about your office locations where you meet with clients? We have offices in Madison, NJ, Bay Head, NJ, and New York City. Many of our clients meet with us three or four times a year. Our parent company, HighTower Advisors, has 98 offices throughout the United States. About 80% of our clients are in the tri state area and the other 20% live throughout the country. Even though those clients are not local, we still provide them with the same level of service.
What are you most proud of at The Egan Group? Two things. First, I’m proud that our clients trust us and trust our service. We are a boutique firm serving 450 families, and we provide personalized service that a big financial firm or bank can’t. We actually accompany clients to buy cars and help them sell their homes if they want. The other thing I’m proud of is how involved we are in our community. The Egan Group is one of the sponsors of May Day in Madison, an annual town-wide cleanup and beautification day. We are also involved with the John Taylor Babbitt Foundation, which is focused on preventing sudden cardiac death; and God’s Love We Deliver, which provides healthy meals to people suffering from AIDS/HIV. We also support Camp Sunshine and Camp Snowflake, recreational programs for disabled children and young adults.

Experience an Intimate Evening with
G
Rickie Lee Jones
et up close and personal with the Duchess of Coolsville herself: Rickie Lee Jones featuring songs such as “Chuck E’s in Love” and “Danny’s All-Star Joint.” This songsmith has defied labels to create a musical genre all her own in 1979. She is a folk singer with pop star flair—a jazz chanteuse with a heart of a rocker. With over 20 albums, she as mastered every musical style under the sun while remaining unmistakably Rickie Lee Jones: from her GRAMMY(TM) Award-winning debut to 1981’s Pirates to her 2019 American Songbook collection, Kicks. In this intimate evening you will hear it all, sung in that iconic voice that whispers and wails, soothes and soars, and always pulls the audience right in.

When a contemporary writer, Donna Baier Stein, turns her imagination loose inside the images of an iconic artist of the past, the result is storytelling magic at its best. Here are nine tales that bring to vivid life the early decades of the 20th century as witnessed by one of America’s most wellknown painters. Thomas Hart Benton sketched fiddlers and farm wives, preachers and soldiers, folks gathering in dance halls and tent meetings.

Chocolate Milk Can Aid in Replenishing Nutrients for Teen Athletes
B
etween sports practices, training, games and tournaments, teen athletes endure a lot of stress on their bodies. While some parents know real dairy milk is a nutritious option for growing kids, many don’t realize that chocolate milk has nutritional benefits, too – especially when it comes to exercise recovery. According to a first-of-its-kind study from the University of Texas at Austin, recovering with low-fat chocolate milk as part of a tough training routine could help teen athletes get stronger. The study included more than 100 high school athletes entering grades 9-12 who were enrolled in a five-week training program involving training four days a week. Some students recovered with chocolate milk and others recovered with a sports drink
with the same amount of carbohydrates but no protein. Researchers found that students who recovered with chocolate milk had greater strength gains compared to those who recovered with sports drinks. In fact, the chocolate milk group bench-pressed an average of 3.5% more at the end of the program than at the beginning, whereas teens who recovered with sports drinks actually decreased their bench-press weight by close to the same amount, around 3.2%. Additionally, those who recovered with chocolate milk improved in squat strength by nearly twice as much as those who consumed sports drinks for post-workout recovery, lifting an average of 15% more weight (compared to about 8% more weight) by the program’s end.
On top of high-quality protein to help build muscle, each 8-ounce glass of chocolate milk has carbohydrates to help bodies refuel; fluids and electrolytes to help rehydrate; calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus to build and maintain strong bones; vitamin A to support a healthy immune system and B vitamins to help bodies convert food into energy. Top all that off with the taste kids love, and chocolate milk is an easy way for teens to get the nutrition they need to be their best, in athletics and beyond. To learn more about the science supporting the benefits of chocolate milk for recovery, visit BuiltWithChocolateMilk.com. – Family Features

How You SLEEP Affects Your HEALTH–
A
and Could Give You Wrinkles
s you drift off to sleep, how does your nightly position affect your health? Whether you prefer stomach, back, side or curled into a fetal position, the way you snuggle into the pillow may affect your breathing patterns, neck and back pain, and circulation. A less-serious effect, but one most people would probably like to avoid, is an increase in facial wrinkles.
Sleeping position pros and cons Here are some of the pros and cons of go-to nightly postures, according to the National Sleep Foundation. 1 ) Back: Lying on your back and assuming a neutral body position typically results in the least amount of strain on your head, neck and spine. But studies show links between back sleepers and snoring, so if this is something you are prone to, try flipping to your side. Also, sleeping on your back is not a good choice if you have sleep apnea, because your tongue can fall back, narrowing the airway. 2 ) Side: Side-sleeping, which is the most common position for adults, helps to open our airways to allow for steady airflow to the lungs. Researchers have found resting on the side may boost brain health, at least when monitoring the sleeping patterns of laboratory animals, but a separate study showed
the potential for increased wrinkles in side-sleepers. 3 ) Fetal position: The fetal position helps improve circulation and is a good bet for people who tend to snore. Be sure not to curl too tightly as you drift off, however, as it may cause difficulty breathing. 4 ) Stomach: Sleeping on your stomach may make breathing regularly a challenge because airway passages could be compromised. Others may experience neck pain or tingling in joints and muscles due to poor circulation, which is a common challenge for people with diabetes. To help avoid putting pressure on the spine, tuck a pillow under your pelvis to keep a neutral lumbar position. One
other negative: Enhanced wrinkles may be a side effect of stomach slumber. While changing your default sleeping position is no easy task, you can help the process by supporting your head and legs with pillows designed for your ideal position. “Regardless of your go-to sleep position, getting adequate rest is important to all aspects of your health,” said Dr. James Metcalf, a medical director with UnitedHealthcare Medicare & Retirement. “Hours of slumber enable our bodies and minds to recharge. Talk with your doctor if you’re having trouble getting a good night’s sleep.” – BTP
Cinnamon for Inflammation Relief
T
he antioxidants in cinnamon can help relieve inflammation, which may help lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, cognitive decline and more. Researchers have identified many different types of flavonoids in cinnamon, all of which are highly effective at fighting dangerous inflammation levels throughout the body. Because cinnamon is believed to lower swelling and prevents inflammation, it can also be beneficial in pain management, with studies showing that cinnamon helps to reduce muscle soreness, decrease menstrual pain, lessen the severity of allergic reactions and help relieve other age-related symptoms of pain as well.
