Divorce Law

Divorce Lawyer for Princeton NJ, Mercer County, and New Jersey statewide

New Jersey has modernized into a “no fault” divorce state, which means that if either party in a marriage decides they no longer want to be married, they have grounds to pursue divorce proceedings. “No Fault” divorce arose from the Divorce Reform Act of 1971. This reform permitted parties to avoid using “at fault” grounds such as adultery or battery.

Although New Jersey has added “no fault” divorce options to couples in dead marriages, there still exist “fault grounds” available, such as (1) desertion, (2) abuse, (3) extreme cruelty, (4) drug addiction, (5) habitual drunkenness, (6) mental illness, (7) imprisonment, and (8) deviant sexual conduct.
