New Jersey Divorce Law

By: Deborah Lynn Zutter

What are the grounds for divorce in New Jersey? 

Although New Jersey divorce law has both fault and no-fault grounds, in most cases, fault has no bearing on how marital assets will be divided. In rare cases, the court may consider the grounds for divorce as a factor in determining spousal support. Fault is an emotional factor in a divorce, but it has little or no influence on the terms of a final settlement. Some of the common grounds in New Jersey divorce law are:

1.separation for 18 consecutive months ("no fault" -- parties must live in separate residences during this time);
2.extreme cruelty (physical or mental cruelty);
3.adultery;
4.willful desertion for at least one year;
5.habitual drunkeness or addiction for at least 12 consecutive months;
6.institutionalization for mental illness for at least 24 consecutive months;
7.imprisonment for at least 18 consecutive months;
8.deviant sexual conduct.

Annulment

In New Jersey divorce law, the court declares the marriage contract broken; in an annulment, the court says that there never was a marriage. Annulment is more difficult to prove -- and much rarer -- than divorce. To go this route, you will need to speak to an attorney. If you want an annulment for religious reasons, consult with your priest, minister, or rabbi as well.

Documentation

You'll need to provide your divorce lawyer with the following documentation in order to proceed with your dissolution. Start gathering everything together as soon as possible so that you can find out what might be missing and submit any requests for duplicates.

Personal Data

1.Full addresses, social-security numbers, and phone numbers of both parties.
2 Full names, birth dates, addresses, and social-security numbers of all children of the marriage, their school and grade.
3. Information about any prior marriage of either spouse, including a certified copy of the divorce decree.
4.A copy of any domestic contracts (e.g. a prenuptial agreement).
5.Information about any previous legal proceedings between the spouses or involving any of the children.
6.Dates and particulars about any previous separations, attempts at reconciliation, or marriage counseling.

Financial Data

1 Your previous year's income tax return, prior years' returns if available, and any related data from the IRS.
2 Information about your current income (e.g. a current pay slip).
3 A list of substantial assets and liabilities of both spouses.
4 Loan applications, broker's statements, stock certificates, insurance.

Icing can be formed into shapes such as flowers and leaves using a pastry bag. A pastry bag is an often cone- or triangular-shaped, hand-held bag made from cloth, paper, or plastic that is used to pipe semi-solid foods by pressing them through a narrow opening at one end. Aside from icings and frostings, pastry bags are commonly used to shape meringue and whipped cream, and to fill doughnuts with jelly or vanilla custard. Using icing to decorate cakes is commonly used with wedding cakes, anniversary cakes and birthday cakes.

Marbled Fudge

2 cups of granulated sugar, 1/4 a cup of glucose (pure corn syrup), 1-1/2 cups of cream, 1 tablespoonful of butter, 2 squares of Baker's Chocolate, scraped fine or melted, 2 teaspoonfuls of vanilla.

Stir the sugar, glucose and cream over a slack fire until the sugar is melted; move the saucepan to a hotter part of the range and continue stirring until the mixture boils, then let boil, stirring every three or four minutes very gently, until the thermometer registers 236° F., or, till a soft ball can be formed in cold water. Remove from the fire and pour one-half of the mixture over the chocolate. Set both dishes on a cake rack, or on something that will allow the air to circulate below the dishes. When the mixture cools a little, get some one to beat one dish of the fudge; add a teaspoonful of vanilla to each dish, and beat until thick and slightly grainy, then put the mixture in a pan, lined with waxed paper, first a little of one and then of the other, to give a marbled effect. When nearly cold turn from the pan, peel off the paper and cut into cubes.
