What Is an Uncontested Divorce in New Jersey?

An uncontested divorce is a legal dissolution of marriage in which both spouses agree on all major issues—such as division of property, child custody, child support, and spousal support—without requiring court intervention. This type of divorce is ideal for couples who are in agreement about their decision to separate and want to avoid the emotional and financial costs associated with litigation.

In New Jersey, uncontested divorces are often resolved more quickly and affordably than contested cases. They allow couples to maintain control over their outcomes and avoid the uncertainty of a judge’s decision.

Who Qualifies for an Uncontested Divorce?

You may be eligible for an uncontested divorce in New Jersey if:

  • Both spouses agree to end the marriage
  • There are no disputes over marital assets or debts
  • You’ve reached a consensus on child custody and support (if applicable)
