Uncontested Divorce In New Jersey

Understanding what “uncontested” means in New Jersey can help you decide if this is the right approach for you. In an uncontested divorce, both spouses reach agreement on all major issues before the court is asked to finalize the divorce. Those issues usually include how to divide property and debts, whether one spouse will pay alimony, and how parenting time and child support will be handled if you have children.

New Jersey law generally allows no-fault divorce based on irreconcilable differences, and it also has residency requirements that usually must be met before filing. Many people living in or around Cherry Hill already meet those requirements, but it is important to confirm your situation. Our family law attorneys can help you understand how New Jersey rules apply to your circumstances so you can move forward with confidence.

An uncontested divorce often works best when both spouses are willing to share information, compromise, and keep communication respectful. It can be a good fit if you both want to avoid frequent court appearances and believe you can stick to the terms you agree upon. If there are still serious disputes about children, finances, or safety, a different path may be more appropriate. 

Our Process For Uncontested Divorce

Here is a general outline of how an uncontested divorce with our firm usually proceeds:

• Initial consultation to review your situation and confirm whether an uncontested approach is appropriate.
• Collection of financial and family information that New Jersey courts typically require.
• Drafting and refining a written settlement agreement that reflects your decisions.
• Preparing and filing the complaint and related documents with the Camden County Family Part when appropriate.
• Coordinating signatures, final submissions, and any required appearances until the court enters a judgment of divorce.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my case is truly uncontested?

Your case is generally uncontested if you and your spouse agree on all major issues, including property, support, and parenting. If there are still major disputes, we can talk through them and explain whether they can likely be resolved within an uncontested process or whether another approach may be better.

Will I have to go to court in Cherry Hill?

Many uncontested divorces involve limited or no in-person court time, although the judge still reviews your paperwork. Whether you must appear often depends on your specific circumstances and court practices. We explain what to expect in Camden County and prepare you if a brief appearance is required.

How long does an uncontested divorce usually take in New Jersey?

Timeframes vary based on court scheduling, how quickly documents are completed, and the complexity of your agreements. Many uncontested cases resolve faster than contested ones. During your consultation, we can give you a general sense of timing based on current practices for cases filed in this area.

Do both of us need our own divorce lawyers?

Each spouse has the right to seek independent legal advice. In many uncontested matters, one spouse works directly with an attorney to prepare documents, and the other reviews them with or without separate counsel. We explain our role clearly so you understand whom we represent and what that means for you.

What should I bring to our first meeting?

It is helpful to bring basic information about your income, major assets and debts, any existing court orders, and a simple outline of what you and your spouse have already discussed. This allows us to give more specific guidance and to start shaping a plan for your uncontested divorce in New Jersey.
