Divorce in New Jersey
If you are planning on filing for divorce in Burlington County, NJ, or have filed, your lawyer will help explain the New Jersey laws regarding divorce. You must have sufficient grounds for divorce and can file for either a fault or no-fault divorce.
In most cases, no-fault grounds are used. All that must be alleged in a no-fault divorce is that the parties had irreconcilable differences existing for at least six months prior to the filing of the complaint, and there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation. Fault divorce, on the other hand, can be filed on the grounds of adultery and extreme cruelty, among other grounds. You or your spouse will need to be a resident of New Jersey to proceed with a divorce filing.

When you work with a divorce lawyer, you’ll have the support you need. Your lawyer will be responsible for representing you throughout the process, from court appearances to court filings.
During a divorce, you may also need to determine financial support, child custody, and equitable distribution. Having legal representation means you have someone advocating on your behalf and helping you start the adjustment to your new life.
