What are the grounds for a divorce in New Jersey? The Divorce Center Comments are off July 17, 2019

There are several grounds for divorce in the State of New Jersey and the most popular ground utilized today is Irreconcilable Differences, which means that neither spouse is at-fault for the failure of the marriage. In order to qualify for a divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences in NJ, the plaintiff must show that the couple has been experiencing Irreconcilable Differences for at least six months or more.

Filing for a divorce is already a difficult decision to make, however under Irreconcilable Differences as the ground for divorce this is the least offensive reason to file under.
Other grounds for divorce are:

No-Fault – 18 Months Separation – You and your spouse have lived separately for the last 18 months or more.

Abandonment – A – 12 Months or more – Your spouse left you and never returned more than 12 months ago.

Abandonment – B – 12 Months or more – Your spouse locked you out and refused to allow you back into the house more than 12 months ago.

Mental or Physical Cruelty – You list 3 events that made it unsafe or improper for you to continue to live with your spouse. No separation time is necessary. Examples of cruelty can be the following: Your spouse struck you –Your spouse used foul and abusive language to you in public and private – Your spouse threw objects at you – Your spouse sexually abused you – These are just samples. Includes adultery. You can write down anything that you feel made it improper to continue to live together. (Although cruelty can be either mental or physical, the Judge can deny your divorce if you don’t supply enough examples.)
