Legal Separation in NJ
Dissolving a marital status is a legally complicated undertaking. States have different requirements for filing for divorce, such as minimum time since marriage commencement. Additionally, settlement terms may be different depending on whether or not either party was at “fault” (the grounds of this term also vary). When negotiating a settlement, both monetary and intangible elements come into play. Besides the division of marital property and assets, there is also alimony and child custody to consider.
New Jersey Divorce Cases
In New Jersey, cases of divorce (also known as martial termination), are heard in the county level Superior Court. For example, Morristown is county seat of Morris County, NJ and the location of the Superior Court. After the Family Division of the court has heard the case and a judgment for divorce issued, the case is considered to be closed. Details of the case, including copies of the decree are kept in the Superior Court Clerk’s office in the Trenton, NJ warehouse. Because the law and statutes vary from county to county within each state, obtaining an experienced New Jersey divorce lawyer with familiarity in your particular jurisdiction is imperative.
