Getting a Divorce in New Jersey
Many people are unaware that New Jersey is a no-fault divorce state. This means that you may state irreconcilable differences as your reason for divorce. The old rule that required an 18-month separation prior to no-fault divorce no longer applies.
It can take up to a year to finalize a divorce, depending on how quickly the parties are able to reach an agreement. The state of New Jersey tries to resolve cases within one year. If a divorce is contested, the couple will attend a settlement panel to attempt to reach an agreement. If that is unsuccessful, they will attend economic mediation. Uncontested divorces generally take less time to finalize.
The majority of divorce cases do not go to trial; however, if we need to litigate your case, I will fight hard to protect your rights. I can also assist you with child custody and child support. To make an appointment with a Cherry Hill divorce attorney, please call me at 856-324-4920.
