Essex County family courts commonly require parties to participate in mediation for custody and parenting time disputes, depending on the circumstances.
Some family law matters can be resolved without a court, while others require its involvement, depending on the issue, level of conflict, and whether the parties can reach an agreement.
New Jersey follows an equitable distribution standard, meaning property is divided fairly rather than equally. The court considers factors such as the length of the marriage, income, contributions to the marriage, and the nature of marital and separate assets.
The timeline depends on whether the divorce is contested, the complexity of financial and custody issues, and court scheduling. Most uncontested divorces resolve in less than a year.
