New Jersey Divorce — Self-Help Document Preparation
New Jersey lets you divorce on no-fault grounds — irreconcilable differences for at least six months. When the major issues are settled, the uncontested path is largely about preparing the Complaint and the financial disclosures correctly.
Grounds & residency: No-fault — irreconcilable differences for 6+ months (N.J.S.A. 2A:34-2(i)); generally one spouse a NJ resident for 1+ year.
The process: File a Complaint for Divorce in the Chancery Division, Family Part, and complete the Case Information Statement (financial disclosure); an uncontested matter resolves at a brief hearing on your agreement.
Respond in time: Served with a Complaint? You generally have 35 days to file an Answer or Appearance — missing it risks a default judgment.
Lead move: File the Complaint for Divorce (irreconcilable differences) and your Case Information Statement; reserve an attorney for contested or custody-disputed matters.

This is self-help document preparation and educational information, not legal advice, and Health Wealth Stealth is not a law firm and does not represent you. A contested case or a custody dispute calls for a licensed New Jersey family-law attorney.
