Uncooperative Spouse Divorce in New Jersey

If your spouse is uncooperative and you wish to proceed with a divorce, there's no need to stress. New Jersey, being a no-fault state, permits one spouse to apply for divorce due to irreconcilable differences, irrespective of the other spouse's stand on the divorce. The paperwork that initiates this process is referred to as a Complaint for Dissolution of Marriage. This Complaint, along with some other necessary documents, needs to be rightfully served to the uncooperative spouse by either a sheriff or a professional process server. If your spouse doesn't respond to the Complaint within 35 days, you can then apply for a default judgment from the court clerk. If children are involved, the clerk will likely refuse the default, leading you to obtain a judicial default which only the judge can provide. In any case, a spouse cannot coerce you to remain in the marriage against your will.
