FILING FOR DIVORCE - DIVORCE ATTORNEY IN HACKENSACK NJ - (201)-801-0100

FILING FOR DIVORCE

If you are filing for divorce, you are the Plaintiff. Your spouse is the Defendant.

Note: You must be 18 to file a court case. If you are under 18, your parent or guardian must file the case for you.

You should file your divorce forms in the New Jersey county where you live. If you do not live in New Jersey, you should file your forms in the New Jersey county where your spouse lives. See Court Rule R. 5:7-1 for more information.

Grounds for divorce

You must state a reason for the divorce recognized by New Jersey law (called “grounds” for divorce).

• No-fault or Irreconcilable Differences: To file for divorce based on irreconcilable differences, you must meet the following requirements:

1. You or your spouse must have lived in New Jersey for 12 consecutive months before filing for divorce;
2. You or your spouse must have experienced irreconcilable differences for 6 months, and;
3. The irreconcilable differences are a reason that the marriage, civil union or domestic partnership should be dissolved; and
4. You are certain there is no way to reconcile.

There is no need to accuse the other spouse of doing anything wrong when filing based on irreconcilable differences. In fact, making accusations of adultery or other “wrongdoing” will not affect the outcome of the divorce or improve your chances of getting more child support, alimony, or other financial arrangements, such as equitable distribution.

• Separation: To file for divorce based on separation, the couple must have been living apart for at least 18 months.
• Extreme Cruelty: To file on the grounds of extreme cruelty requires proof of other factors. You should consult an attorney or read N.J.S.A. 2A:34-2 to see if the statute applies to your case.
• Other grounds: Other “fault” grounds for divorce include adultery, institutionalization, and incarceration for an extended period. For more information, read N.J.S.A. 2A:34-2.

ATTORNEY FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN HACKENSACK NJ (201)-801-0100

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Domestic Violence is a pattern of physical, emotional, verbal, and sexual abuse, which includes, but is not limited to, threats, intimidation, isolation, and/or financial control. Domestic Violence can continue over a long period of time and becomes more frequent and more severe over time.

Domestic violence can happen to anyone regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or gender. Domestic violence affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels. Domestic violence occurs in both opposite-sex and same-sex relationships and can happen to intimate partners who are married, living together, or dating.

Who can be a victim of Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence acts are established by the relationship between the offender and the victim. A person protected by the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act is 18 years of age or older, or who is an emancipated minor, and who has been subjected to domestic violence by a spouse, former spouse, or any other person who is a present or former household member. Any person, regardless of age, sex, or physical/psychological condition, who has been subjected to domestic violence by one of the following actors:

• A person with whom the victim has a child in common
• A person with whom the victim anticipates having a child in common, if one of the parties is pregnant.
• A person with whom the victim has had a dating relationship

New Jersey Child Custody Laws

Created by FindLaw's team of legal writers and editors | Last updated June 01, 2018

New Jersey, along with all other U.S. states and the District of Columbia, has adopted the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), which helps prevent interstate child custody conflicts. In general, child custody laws dictate whether parents may seek joint custody, the rules for visitation, and the procedures for ordering custody. According to New Jersey child custody laws, grandparents may legally request visitation rights.

There are two main aspects of custody in New Jersey (and in other states):

1. Physical Custody: where the child will spend their time; and
2. Legal Custody: which parent(s) is/are responsible for decision-making on behalf of the child.

How Courts Determine Child Custody in New Jersey

New Jersey courts consider a number of factors when determining child custody orders, but primarily consider the best interests of the child. If the parents are seeking joint custody, the court will examine their ability to agree, communicate, and cooperate with regard to the child. Also, any history of domestic violence will figure prominently in any custody or visitation decision. If the non-custodial parent has a history of domestic violence or the court determines a need for precaution, they may be eligible for supervised visitation with their child.

Other factors considered when determining child custody in New Jersey may include (but are not limited to):

• Interaction of the child with its parents and siblings
• Preference of the child (if 12 or older)
• Stability of the home environment
• Fitness of parents
• Parents' employment responsibilities

I had visited many other attorneys for the issues I was having and none of them worked out,  they set a lot of unrealistic expectations and false hopes. When I got to Glen Haley I didn't really like what I heard at first it's not really what I wanted but he was very realistic, he showed me how to compromise and find the best solution that was in the best interest of everybody. He set expectations that were reasonable and he met every single one of them and I am very grateful for him and his knowledgeable staff in helping me navigate through all those issues successfully. Thank you.
