How to File for No-Fault Divorce in New Jersey
In the state of New Jersey, you can file for divorce on
several grounds: adultery, extreme cruelty, desertion, and no-fault. No-fault
divorce means the court will not assign fault to either party for the divorce.
As of 2007, New Jersey uses irreconcilable differences (the two parties no
longer get along), in addition to separation for at least 18 consecutive
months, to settle no-fault divorces, which can lead to a smoother divorce. But,
this also means that even if you claim that your spouse has engaged in adultery
or cruelty, it will not affect the outcome of your divorce, nor will it help
your chances in getting more alimony, child support, or equitable distribution.
