Divorce questions from Newark filers

How long do I have to live in New Jersey before filing?
Every state sets a residency requirement you must meet before you can file, and some counties add their own wrinkles. Confirm New Jersey's current requirement with the Superior Court, Chancery Division clerk serving Newark before you start — filing too early is an easy way to get your case tossed.
Can I get a no-fault divorce in Newark 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 Newark?
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.
