Our firm cannot predict precisely how long it will take you to secure a divorce in your case. Multiple factors will influence the timeline of your divorce, including the complexity of your marital estate, whether you and your spouse have children, whether you can negotiate a divorce settlement, and the schedule of the trial court. In addition, no-fault divorces in New Jersey require you and your spouse to have experienced irreconcilable differences for at least six months, while divorces based on separation require an 18-month separation period.
