Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

The law has changed. There is a new no-fault grounds called Irreconcilable Differences that allow a divorce without any separation period.

The law was changed a while ago. Now, irreconcilable differences lasting for 6 months is a valid basis for getting a divorce.

Ten years of marriage means that you really need to discuss this with a divorce attorney.

From what you have said, it seems very likely that you are going to have to start a divorce. You need to solve some problems in your life and your children's lives, and a divorce is pretty much needed; that is what I understand that you are saying.

Employment, income to pay the family's expenses, is an issue.

You may have children, and if you do: Custody and vistation, and child support are issues. Child support and college tuition may need to be paid. That is measured in tens of thousand of dollars.

You probably have a house and some money saved. You probably have a pension plan; maybe your spouse has a pension plan.

You need to see a decent, experienced divorce attorney located reasonably near you, and have the attorney to review your situation carefully with you, and give you some guidance. A good attorney could save you thousands of dollars and a great deal of heartache, make your life more manageable, and reduce the harm to the kids. When choosing an attorney, make sure it is someone whose personality works for you, someone you can work with.

You can file a complaint for divorce at such time as you can truly state in a complaint for divorce filed with the Superior Court, Family Part, in New Jersey that you and your spouse have

had irreconcilable differences which are indicative that you should be divorced, because there

are no reasonable prospects of reconciliation.
