- The Divorce Process
What to Expect When Filing for Divorce in New Jersey
A divorce attorney guides each step so you can make informed decisions and avoid costly delays.
Filing and Service
The process begins when one spouse files a divorce complaint and formally serves the other party. This step establishes the legal timeline and initial case requirements.
Temporary Orders
The court may issue temporary orders to address custody, support, and financial responsibilities while the case is ongoing.
Financial Disclosure
Both parties are required to disclose income, assets, debts, and expenses. Accurate financial information is critical for fair outcomes.
Discovery Process
If needed, additional information is gathered through legal tools such as document requests, subpoenas, and depositions.
Negotiation and Mediation
Most cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation, helping both parties reach an agreement without going to trial.
Trial and Final Judgment
If no agreement is reached, the case proceeds to trial, where a judge makes the final decisions and issues the divorce decree.
- Common Questions
Common Questions About Divorce in New Jersey
What money can't be touched in a divorce?
Generally, non-marital property such as gifts, inheritances, and assets owned before marriage are not subject to division in divorce. However, if the property is commingled or used for joint purposes, it could be considered marital property.
Can a spouse take all money out of a joint account?
While a spouse can legally withdraw money from a joint account, it may violate fiduciary duties and could harm their case in divorce proceedings. Courts may consider such actions when dividing assets.
What happens if my spouse hides assets during a divorce?
Hiding assets during a divorce is illegal and can result in severe penalties, including financial penalties and an unfair settlement. If you suspect asset concealment, your attorney can use discovery tools and forensic accounting to uncover hidden assets.
