Divorce questions from Lakewood filers

What does it cost to file in Lakewood?
Your unavoidable cost is the court's filing fee, which varies by county in New Jersey and typically runs a few hundred dollars. Fee waivers are available if your income is low. That's separate from the cost of forms or a course.
Can I get a no-fault divorce in Lakewood if we agree on everything?
Yes — that's exactly what an uncontested no-fault divorce is. You state the marriage is irretrievably broken, you and your spouse sign a settlement agreement, and the Superior Court, Chancery Division finalizes it. Agreement is what keeps it simple and cheap.
Do I need a lawyer to file in Lakewood?
Not for a straightforward uncontested case — filing pro se is legal in New Jersey. But if you disagree about custody or property, there's a business or pension involved, or there's any history of abuse, talk to a licensed New Jersey family law attorney.
