In Mantoloking, NJ, a justification is not required for filing for divorce. New Jersey is a “no-fault” state, which means that either spouse may file for divorce without providing a reason for doing so. All that is required is that the couple has irreconcilable differences, has been living separately for at least 18 consecutive months, or that the marriage has suffered a breakdown irretrievably. However, if there are issues such as child custody, support, or alimony, they will still need to be resolved in court.
