Filing a Divorce in New Jersey
Either spouse can file for divorce in New Jersey as long as one spouse resides in the state. Your lawyer can walk you through the divorce filing and help you manage the moving parts.
Most divorces in New Jersey today are no-fault divorces. You and your spouse must say that there are irreconcilable differences for a no-fault divorce. This means neither party is at fault, although you still may go to court if you and your partner can’t agree on divorce terms.
Fault-based divorce is also an option if the behavior of your spouse is the primary cause of your divorce. Some reasons people file for fault-based divorces include:
- Extreme cruelty
- Adultery
- Desertion or constructive desertion
- Imprisonment
- Institutionalization
Sufficient grounds for divorce are required for both no-fault and fault divorces.
