An uncontested divorce can often be finalized within a few months of filing. Contested cases run longer, and New Jersey courts aim to resolve most within a year, with custody, support and property handled along the way. We'll give you a realistic range on the first call.
No. Most New Jersey divorces are filed on irreconcilable differences, which requires only that the marriage has broken down for at least six months. Fault grounds still exist but are rarely needed.
By the best interests of the child, using statutory factors that look at each parent's role, the child's needs and safety, and the parents' ability to cooperate. Both parents are presumed to have equal rights at the start, and an agreed parenting plan usually beats a judge's.
New Jersey uses the Child Support Guidelines, based on both parents' incomes, the number of children, the overnight schedule, and costs like health insurance and childcare. Deviations are possible but need a reason the court accepts.
Do not contact the other party, even to explain. A final restraining order hearing is usually set within about 10 days, and a final order in New Jersey is permanent. Call us right away.
By a list of statutory factors including income, the length of the marriage, and the standard of living. For marriages under 20 years, alimony generally can't last longer than the marriage did. We'll walk you through what's realistic before anything is filed.
Through equitable distribution: marital property is divided fairly, which usually means close to equal but not always. Property owned before the marriage or inherited can stay separate if it can be traced. Retirement accounts, the home and a business need extra care.
