Contested Divorce Laws in New Jersey
Uncontested divorce occurs when you and your spouse agree on all aspects of the divorce settlement. However, if you and your spouse are unable to agree on the terms of your divorce, your case will go to trial. With our experienced divorce attorneys at Rozin | Golinder Law, you can receive knowledgeable legal assistance throughout the process.
Contested divorce cases often involve disagreements about:
- Equitable distribution of property, assets, and debts
- Alimony awards
- Grounds for divorce
- Child support/custody arrangements
- Visitation rights
New Jersey is an equitable distribution state. This means your property, assets, and liabilities will be divided fairly, not necessarily equally. Furthermore, only your marital property will be divided during a divorce. This refers to property you and your spouse acquired during your marriage. It may include homes, businesses, vacation properties, pensions, debts, and retirement accounts. Once the court identifies your marital property and assets, it will consider the value of the property and make a judgment based on several factors.

When dividing marital property and assets, the judge will consider:
- The duration of the marriage
- The standard of living during the marriage
- The physical health, age, and emotional wellbeing of each party
- The tax consequences of the property distribution
- The liabilities and debts of each party
- The earning ability, education, and occupational training of each party
In contested divorce cases, New Jersey courts have a wide discretion in determining an equitable division of property and assets. If you and your spouse are unable to reach an agreement out of court, you will begin the litigation process of contested divorce.
