Passaic County Uncontested Divorce Lawyer

Uncontested Divorce Attorney in Passaic County

Often, the concept of divorce conjures up images of ugly battles, drawn-out court proceedings, and mudslinging that leaves both parties mentally and emotionally exhausted. Protracted and contentious divorces can be financially depleting and extremely stressful. Fortunately, uncontested divorces, often referred to as “no fault,” provide divorcing couples with the opportunity to eliminate blame from the equation. By avoiding the blame game, you and your spouse can pursue negotiation and compromise to arrive at mutually-agreeable outcomes that best serve the interests of everyone involved.

Uncontested Divorce in New Jersey

As of January 20, 2007, New Jersey became what is known as a “no fault” state. Prior to this significant change in policy, the majority of New Jersey residents filed for divorce on one of the fault-based grounds, or separated, meaning they lived apart for a minimum of 18 months before filing for divorce. Since Governor Corzine signed these changes into law, divorcing spouses in New Jersey are now able to file for divorce based on “irreconcilable differences.”

In order to file for divorce in New Jersey citing irreconcilable differences, you and your spouse must have established residency in New Jersey for at least 12 consecutive months before filing the initial complaint for divorce. You must also have been experiencing significant marital breakdown for a period of 6 months with no reasonable chance of reconciliation. If you meet these criteria, you can file for a no fault divorce and move forward with dissolving your marital relationship.

With a no fault divorce, there is no need for allegations levied by either party, which minimizes conflict during divorce discussions. As a result, it is often easier to discuss and resolve significant issues surrounding child custody, child support, alimony, and division of assets. Often, when these decisions are reached through negotiation, you can avoid the additional money, time, and stress associated with the traditional litigation process.
