Experienced New Jersey Divorce Lawyers
The decision to divorce a spouse is rarely easy. In addition, the dissolution of a marriage is never as straightforward as people might hope. At the Law Offices of Ronald A. Graziano, in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, we work closely with our client dealing with the myriad issues associated with divorce.
Grounds for Divorce in New Jersey
New Jersey recognizes two types of divorce actions, no fault divorce, and divorces involving fault. In order to qualify for a no-fault divorce, one of the spouses must have been a New Jersey resident for one year and the spouses must have lived separately for eighteen months with no hope of reconciliation. There are several recognized reasons for seeking a fault-based divorce:
- Extreme cruelty
- Adultery
- Desertion
- Addiction
- Institutionalization for mental illness
- Imprisonment
- Deviant sexual conduct
Filing for divorce initiates a number of actions that include a bright line termination of interests and benefits in the financial affairs of the spouse. This can make strategic divorce planning vital. For example, if a spouse is about to receive a significant bonus or a large promotion, it may be judicious to wait to file for divorce.
We work closely with our clients on all aspects of their divorce, from child custody and child support issues, to issues involving simple or complex division of property. We understand that there are no simple divorce cases. To ensure our clients receive a fair divorce settlement, we work with experts that include accountants, forensic accountants, business evaluators, and lifestyle analysts. Our objective is to ensure our clients are in a position to move forward with their lives, whether it is achieved through mediation or litigation.
