Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

child custody/divorce

I am planning on getting a divorce from my husband-it would be a 'no-fault' case. Do we have to live apart for 18mo before we can get divorced? And if so, how is the custody on an infant based during the 18 months?

Thanks

A no fault divorce has no impact on custody, it is just a ground for divorce.

The child custody, parenting time, etc. is great effected by divorce. Please feel free to call me for a free consultation.

No one waits 18 months. Usually the ground for divorce which is used is "extreme cruelty." Extreme cruelty in New Jersey has been interpreted by the courts so that it is really irreconcilable differences. Being excessively argumentative or cold and indifferent equals extreme cruelty.

Call me if you like.

Re: child custody/divorce

As the other attorney's stated, I don't suggest going at it alone. There is a myth that divorces with an attorney cost over $10,000 even if its not really contested. That's not the case at all if you get a good attorney. Furthermore, my consultations are free, so there is no reason not to see an attorney just to discuss the issues. Call me at 732/247/3340 and we'll see where you're at, what you want out of it, etc. There are too many important issues for you to go at it alone.
