NJSBA Family Law Section

Hello all,

I could use some help with this question.  

Final judgment of divorce in 2011 found Wife permanently disabled and her earnings year over.  She was collecting SSD for many years since 2003.  On post judgment application to modify alimony and to determine wife's contribution to college expenses for minor child, trial court grants ex-husband's motion seeking a vocational assessment of ex-wife saying because she defended a number of post judgment motions on a pro se basis she has the ability to work in some capacity in the legal field.

Plenary hearing has not yet been scheduled on the ultimate issues.

I want to appeal the post judgment order granting the vocational assessment.

Is the order granting ex-husband the right to see a vocational assessment on the ex-wife an interlocutory order?

Thanks in advance!

Definitely interlocutory if a plenary has been scheduled.  I've tried it four times, been successful only once, and those were extreme facts (here, if it helps: https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=14501724311946568931 ).

I think otherwise I need to "recuse" from this question as it looks familiar?  :-)
