Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Completing forms pro se

It depends on your definition of "divorce papers". There are many "papers" that need to be filed to get a divorce. Just because you have settled the issues does not mean that the Court does not want that information. And, this varies from county to county (and indeed, may vary by the clerk who received the information within a county). The short answer is that you need to file any paper that the clerk tells you to file, or they will not take it. The better answer, however, is that you may want to invest a limited amount of money to hire an attorney to put these documents together for you. If the matter is truly settled, many attorneys will put them together for you at an affordable cost. Isn't your time worth something? By getting a Family Law Attorney, you will be getting it done quickly and without the hours of aggravation that you are spending on this "learning curve".

Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, you may want to contact a divorce attorney in New Jersey, from your geographic area,(either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely

on the advice. If you call me, mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
