Like many people that come into my office, your view regarding divorce is not based upon the law. You really need to sit down with an attorney. Call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss.

You need to hire an attorney. For example, when cases are settled and there are lawyers on both sides of the case the ground for divorce is uaually changed to irroncilable differences.

You really have no idea of what you are doing.

You really do not need to "get it mentioned". The cause of action for divorce means nothing in NJ. Even if tried by a Judge, it makes no difference in the determination of any issue.
