The expenditure linked with divorce proceedings in New Jersey can vary from case to case. This fluctuation is due to multiple factors that collectively influence the total cost of a New Jersey divorce. Key elements that impact divorce costs in New Jersey encompass court fees, attorney charges, document preparation expenses, trial fees, and miscellaneous costs connected with settling a case, such as mediation services. Therefore, it's prudent to perceive the total divorce cost as an aggregate of all professional fees and expenses.
The most consistent expenditure in any divorce process pertains to the court fees. In New Jersey, there are two court fees: the primary filing fee stands at $300 to procure a docket number, while the final filing fee is $25 to get your case scheduled on the Court's divorce docket, thereby finalizing your divorce where judicial intervention is sought. These court fees are obligatory unless you are eligible for a waiver. We offer the fee waiver application upon request or when it appears suitable. Court fees are payable at the time of submitting your paperwork to the court.
The initial strategy to economize on your divorce in New Jersey involves reaching a mutual agreement with your spouse. When you attain an agreement, you avoid hiring attorneys to debate the issues of your divorce or participate in mediation. By minimizing the outlay for attorney and professional services, you can control the cost of your divorce. Bear in mind that most divorce cases eventually conclude with an agreement, even if significant resources were spent in preparation for a court battle. In such scenarios, you might deplete all your funds paying an attorney to negotiate, often with your spouse's lawyer.
A secondary means to economize is to leverage New Jersey Divorce Online. After you have your agreement, you answer questions online and subsequently review the paperwork online that mirrors your agreements with your spouse. Both of you can then electronically sign and notarize the paperwork. You can then engage us to E-file your case for you, and thereafter, place your divorce case on the divorce docket. A judge will be assigned and, assuming all paperwork is complete, they will sanction the divorce. No court visits, no office visits, no need to search for notaries. And the best part is, you paid a lawyer-free price for our online attorney service.
An agreed (or uncontested) divorce transpires when you and your spouse reach consensus on the issues of your divorce before you file. The divorce settlement agreement outlines the distribution of your marital assets and liabilities, and if you have children, details how you will manage child support, custody, and visitation. By attaining an agreement, you can save a substantial amount on your divorce.
Through this website, you can accomplish an agreed divorce 100% online. You simply answer a series of questions, and then submit your responses. The online attorney will prepare all the paperwork for you. Subsequently, you and your spouse review it. You and your spouse can then each sign and notarize the paperwork online with our E-notary service. We can then E-file your case for you with the appropriate Superior Court.
We offer a pay-per-service pricing model that accommodates flexible, need-based payments. We permit you to make payments on your schedule and when it's most convenient for you.
