In New Jersey, divorce can be initiated on several grounds, including irreconcilable differences or separation for at least 18 months. The concept of irreconcilable differences allows couples to cite general marital issues without assigning fault, which can simplify the process. Once a divorce is filed, issues such as property division, alimony, and child custody are addressed. New Jersey follows an equitable distribution model for dividing marital assets, ensuring a fair but not necessarily equal division based on factors like each party’s financial situation and contributions to the marriage.
