New Jersey Uncontested Divorce Lawyer

If you and your former partner have agreed to dissolve your marriage, you may be able to seek an uncontested divorce. These proceedings are often faster and less expensive than a contested trial. However, you need to ensure that your rights are protected and that your divorce agreement will be held up in court if necessary.

While you and your ex-spouse might agree on all the terms of your divorce, translating these wishes into an airtight legal document requires the insights of a dedicated divorce attorney. Our New Jersey uncontested divorce lawyers are ready to deliver the swift and skilled representation you deserve.

Who Can File for Uncontested Divorce in New Jersey?

In New Jersey, you can file for an uncontested divorce if any of the following apply and at least one spouse has resided in New Jersey for at least one year:

  • You and your spouse have had irreconcilable differences for a period of at least six months
  • You and your spouse have lived separately for at least 18 continuous months with no reasonable prospect of reconciling

To proceed with an uncontested divorce, both parties must reach an agreement on all divorce-related issues, including alimonychild custody, and division of assets. This agreement must be in writing and presented for court approval.

What Are the Benefits of Uncontested Divorce?

In an uncontested divorce, both parties have reached an agreement on all terms of their separation. In a contested divorce, when parties cannot resolve disputes themselves, a judge makes the final decision on the terms of their divorce. Having a divorce go to trial means leaving some of the most important decisions, such as child custody matters, in the hands of a stranger. These trials often have unexpected or subjective outcomes. In an uncontested proceeding, both partners get to maintain relative control over every decision that will govern their post-divorce life.

Uncontested divorces also tend to take less time than divorces that require court proceedings. Spouses can often take several months to reach a finalized divorce agreement. Preparing for trial and court proceedings can extend a divorce for years. Courts often push for uncontested divorce settlements because they would rather not have the burden of managing a trial. Additionally, New Jersey public policy favors and encourages settlement of family law matters, including divorces. However, there are some relationships and marital issues that uncontested divorces may not work for, as these agreements must be reached in good faith and without coercion. It is best to consult a knowledgeable New Jersey uncontested divorce attorney about whether this is the best option.

How an Uncontested Divorce Attorney Can Help

Although the idea of an uncontested divorce may seem straightforward, hidden complexities often arise that require the deft attention of a legal professional. For example, someone may need to ensure they do not lose the property they are entitled to or that their children’s best interests are fully protected in a custody arrangement. Additionally, a full disclosure of all income, assets, and debts is essential to every settlement. A seasoned uncontested divorce attorney can provide advice and guidance to help families in New Jersey make informed decisions throughout the settlement process.
