New Jersey Divorce Law and Equitable Distribution
New Jersey is a “no-fault” divorce state, meaning you can file for dissolution based on irreconcilable differences for six months or more, without proving fault like adultery or cruelty. The court follows the principle of equitable distribution, which means marital property is divided fairly, but not necessarily equally, based on factors outlined in statute.
