What Are Grounds for Divorce in New Jersey ?

Unlike years before, divorce has become somewhat less complicated due to all states allowing some version of a no-fault divorce. This means the couple does not need to prove that one of them did something to cause the marriage to fail. The spouse's do not need to get into specific details about who's to blame for the breakup.

If you and your spouse have lived separate for the last 18 consecutive months, you can file a no-fault divorce based on a separation. Living separate for this length of time demonstrates to the New Jersey courts there's likely nothing a judge can do to encourage you to save your marriage if it has not been saved within that time.

Living apart for 18 months used to be the only way you could file for a no-fault divorce in New Jersey. However, the courts have broadened the no-fault grounds. Today, you can file for divorce based on irreconcilable differences, which means that you and your spouse can't get along anymore, and there is no hope you will be able to save the marriage. If you can prove irreconcilable differences for a period of at least six months, you may qualify for a no-fault divorce.

Both types of no-fault divorce require at least one spouse to live in the state of New Jersey for at least one year prior to filing.

You are also able to file for divorce in New Jersey based on your spouse's marital misconduct. The fault grounds for divorce in New Jersey include the following:

  • Extreme mental or physical cruelty
  • Adultery
  • Desertion
  • Constructive desertion
  • Habitual drunkenness or drug habituation
  • Imprisonment
  • Institutionalism
  • Deviant sexual behavior
  • Divorce from bed and board, which can later be converted to a final judgment of divorce.
