- Q. I am looking to file for divorce in the state of New Jersey. I am not sure if my partner had already filed.
- A: If your partner filed for divorce, typically they would have you “served”, meaning you would be given a copy of the divorce complaint and any ancillary documents. If your partner has an attorney, you can also contact their office to inquire about the status of any complaint/filing. If your partner has filed, you can respond to their complaint in the form of an answer or an answer and counterclaim.
If you do want to proceed with filing for divorce or have been served with divorce papers, I would recommend consulting a family law attorney to determine your next steps and how to proceed strategically in the litigation.
I hope this helps!

- Q. How long it takes in hudson county after MSA been filed been there waiting for more than year in an uncontested divorce?
- A: If you and your spouse have been waiting for a Final Judgment of Divorce back from the Court, it may be worth it to contact the Family Division in Hudson County and inquire as to the status of your matter. The phone number is available on the New Jersey Superior Court website. It may be that the Court is simply backed up or it could be that there is additional information or filings needed to finalize the divorce. A phone call to the Court may assist you in determining what exactly is holding up the divorce and how to move forward. If you continue to encounter barriers, it may also be useful to consult a family law attorney. I hope this helps!

- A: This sounds like a difficult decision at an emotionally charged time. I would strongly recommend taking a pause before consenting to the move. When parties are going through a divorce, it can sometimes feel easiest in the short term to just agree and minimize conflict. However, long-term, just agreeing may not be what’s in your best interests or importantly, what’s in the child’s best interests.
When parties do agree to a relocation as part of a divorce or custody dispute, typically provisions for parenting time for the other parent are included in either a consent order or marital settlement agreement. Usually, if the child is school age, the parties can agree for one parent to have custody ... Read More
