Grounds for Divorce

Return to Form (Divorce Grounds)

Grounds for divorce in New Jersey are numerous; however, two grounds are commonly used with uncontested divorces, No Fault Divorce and Crulety.

(1.) Divorce Grounds No Fault The No Fault divorce ground requires that the parties live separate and apart for a period of eighteen (18) months prior to the final divorce hearing. During the 18 months of separation, the parties must live in separate abodes and their must be no sexual relations. While there have been some cases litigated on the issues, if there is any doubt as to whether you qualify, you should file using the Cruelty ground for divorce.

(2.)Extreme Mental and Physical Cruelty. This is the most common and easiest fault ground for divorce. To prove this ground, it is necessary to recite five or six incidents during the marriage where your spouse may have embarrassed you in front of others or may have been insensitive to your feelings in some way. The cruelty can also be physical; however, it is not necessary to get too nasty since the Courts are liberal in interpreting cruelty. Judges usually will only ask you if you have read the allegations in the complaint and ask if they are true and accurate. It doesn't take much to prove cruelty in New Jersey today.
