Divorce

In, New Jersey both fault and no-fault grounds for divorce are valid. Fault grounds imply that one of the parties is to blame for the marital misconduct that is alleged in the divorce complaint.
All of the following fault-based grounds for divorce must be proven before the court:

The no-fault ground for divorce in New Jersey is separation (living separate and apart without cohabitation) for at least 18 months and showing that there is no prospect for reconciliation or irreconcilable differences. Any party to a marriage can chooses to end the marriage at any time without a need to prove the other party was at fault.

The most common reason for parties to file divorce is the “catch-all” category – irreconcilable differences. Simply, this means that the relationship has deteriorated so much the parties are unable to reconcile and save their marriage.
