Gene Van Den Ende is suing Crofton Philip Reynolds for equitable distribution of marital assets and related divorce matters involving international jurisdictional issues

In a recent appellate court decision, Gene Van Den Ende’s appeal in a divorce case against Crofton Philip Reynolds has led to a remand for further proceedings. The New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division, overturned previous orders that dismissed Van Den Ende’s claims for equitable distribution of marital assets located in South Africa. The court emphasized the need for a plenary hearing to resolve factual disputes regarding jurisdiction and the applicability of South African law over the couple’s antenuptial agreement. The court highlighted unresolved issues such as whether an action is pending in South Africa and if it involves similar claims as those filed in New Jersey. The ruling underscores the complexities involved when international elements intersect with local family law proceedings.
