Where Do I File for a Divorce in Sea Girt, NJ?

Divorce cases for Sea Girt residents are filed at the Monmouth Vicinage, which is the Superior Court of Monmouth County. Divorce filings are handled by the court's Family Division, which also addresses related issues such as Domestic Violence, Custody, Child Support and Spousal Support.  The state of New Jersey classifies divorces as “no fault” or “fault-based”. A no fault divorce is filed due to irreconcilable differences for a period of at least 6 months. A fault-based divorce is a filing due to extreme circumstances such as acts of cruelty, adultery, mental illness and incarceration.  In both cases, you and your spouse must have lived in New Jersey for at least 12 consecutive months prior to the file date of your divorce complaint.

 NJ Collaborative Divorce Attorney

 The process of ending a marriage often becomes adversarial, making it difficult for spouses to reach an amicable settlement. A collaborative divorce attorney is specially trained to create a safe and friendly atmosphere for both parties, in which the divorcing couple can negotiate and compromise with civility. A collaborative divorce attorney emphasizes the goal of reaching a settlement without the stress and expense of going to court. Both spouses must be willing to work as a team, and address their concerns in a humane and respectful manner. Ultimately, this allows you to be in full control of how to dissolve your union, rather than letting a judge make the final decision. Collaborative divorce also places heavy emphasis on the needs of any existing children, who are often emotionally traumatized during the divorce process. A collaborative divorce attorney can also assist you with finding a mental health practitioner, who can counsel your children through this difficult and frightening process. Vincent C. DeLuca, Esq. is a collaborative lawyer who was one of the founding members of the Jersey Shore Collaborative Law Group.
