What Is a Non-Contested Divorce?
A non-contested divorce, also known as an uncontested divorce, occurs when both spouses agree on all major terms of their separation, including:
-
Division of marital property and debts
-
Child custody and parenting time
-
Child support and alimony
-
Retirement accounts and asset transfers
This approach avoids prolonged court battles and keeps the divorce process streamlined. However, it still requires the proper legal documentation and filing procedures, which is where our experienced attorneys step in.

How long does an uncontested divorce take in New Jersey?
In most cases, an uncontested divorce in New Jersey can be finalized in as little as two to three months, depending on the court’s schedule and how quickly all required documents are filed and served.
Do I need to appear in court for an uncontested divorce?
Usually, only one short court appearance is required to finalize the divorce. In some counties, the process can be completed on the papers if the judge approves, but this varies by jurisdiction.
What forms are needed to file an uncontested divorce in NJ?
You’ll need to file a Complaint for Divorce, Case Information Statement, Certification of Verification and Non-Collusion, Marital Settlement Agreement (if applicable), and several court-specific documents. Filing fees also apply.
Can we use the same attorney for an uncontested divorce?
No. One attorney cannot ethically represent both spouses, even if you agree on everything. However, one party may hire an attorney to draft or review the settlement agreement, while the other proceeds pro se (without an attorney).
What are the residency requirements for filing for divorce in New Jersey?
At least one spouse must have lived in New Jersey for 12 consecutive months before filing for divorce, except in cases involving adultery, which have no residency waiting period.
How is property divided in an uncontested divorce?
Even in uncontested cases, property must be divided according to New Jersey’s equitable distribution laws, meaning assets are divided fairly—but not necessarily equally—based on factors like income, contributions, and length of the marriage.
Do we need a written agreement for an uncontested divorce?
A Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) is typically required to outline all terms of the divorce, including custody, financial matters, and asset division. This document becomes part of the final divorce judgment.
