Grounds for Divorcing in New Jersey

You must have solid facts, which you must state as the reasons you are filing for divorce. Your stated reason can be ‘irreconcilable difference,’ which equals a no-fault divorce.

No-Fault Divorce

Filing on a no-fault ground doesn’t necessarily mean you’re blaming your spouse. It could mean that you and your spouse had differences that were impossible to resolve or to live with, which led to the divorce option. You can also file on no-fault grounds if you and your spouse lived separately for at least 18 months. The reason most people file for a divorce on no-fault grounds is that they do not need to prove that one party was the one in the wrong. This makes the divorce process more manageable—an amicable divorce results in a better opportunity for faster settlement.

Fault Divorce Grounds

If you file a divorce on fault grounds, the court expects you to provide proof that your spouse’s fault led to the need for a divorce. These are the grounds on which you can file for a fault divorce in New Jersey:
  • Adultery
  • Desertion
  • Imprisonment
  • Drug or alcohol abuse
  • Cruelty
  • Being institutionalized for mental illness
  • Deviant sexual behavior.
Sometimes, strategic reasons make you file for a divorce on fault grounds, especially when the wrongdoing is evident and extreme. In some situations, filing for a divorce on fault grounds will significantly impact child custody and visitation. It would be ideal if you let the court know before the proceedings of these incidents so the court gets a clear understanding of the relationships and sees how best to address child custody issues and visitation.

Glen Rock, NJ, Divorce Lawyer Will Help You Understand Your Options

Understanding the grounds on which you may file for a divorce is not always a straightforward process. If you’ve tried settling issues with your spouse but have not succeeded in coming to a common ground, leaving no hope for reconciliation, it would be suitable to file for a no-fault divorce. If, however, the reasons for filing for divorce included cruelty, adultery, or other issues while you were still married, it could make more sense to file for the divorce on a fault ground. It all depends on your goal through this entire divorce process. Our Glen Rock divorce attorney will carefully review the circumstances of your marriage and estrangement, eventually helping you know what divorce option would be best for you.

Types of Divorce in New Jersey

We have two basic types of divorce in New Jersey: uncontested and contested divorce. The kind of divorce you will experience relies, in part, on the type of relationship you’ve had with your spouse and the facts involved in your situation.

Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce may be appropriate if you and your soon-to-be ex-spouse agree that the only option left is to separate through a divorce. You and your partner need to agree on issues that will help make the divorce process more straightforward. These issues include child custody, division of property, child support, and alimony. Deciding on how you’ll proceed with these issues will smoothe the divorce process, making it take a shorter time than the contested divorce. Disagreement on any of these issues will make it a contested divorce. It means that you and your spouse are not on the same page.  You and your spouse will likely need the help of various professionals to go through the divorce process. If your divorce is uncontested, you will want to ensure that your rights and interests are represented by qualified divorce lawyers in Glen Rock, NJ.  They will help you with the needed paperwork and other processes you will most likely encounter and will be of assistance if unanticipated disagreements do arise. The point is to ensure that you have a comprehensive divorce agreement to avoid fighting the complex issues which may take you back later. We always advise our clients that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

Contested Divorce

As the name states, a contested divorce means some divorce issues are yet to be fully resolved. This, however, does not mean that the entire divorce process will be adversarial. It means that we must address some problems and find solutions. To achieve this, we might involve professionals who will help us come up with creative solutions that both you and your spouse agree to. We understand that addressing pertinent divorce issues can be destabilizing and unsettling for anyone going through them. Some issues you and your spouse may disagree on include grounds for filing for divorce, child custody, visitation, child support, property division, and alimony. The time taken to complete a contested divorce depends on the complexity of the issues leading to the divorce. New Jersey courts strongly recommend that spouses have their own individual attorneys in cases of a contested divorce. Our divorce attorneys in Glen Rock will help you understand your rights and ensure that you do not make mistakes that will go against your own interests.
