Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

My wife has moved out of the house. No divorce action is filed at this time and she is living with another man. Can I file for divorce using adultery as the reason?

You can use adultery as a ground for divorce and you can also use irreconcilable differences for six months as another ground for divorce. Getting a divorce in New Jersey is not so hard.

Call me if you like.
