Understanding New Jersey's Divorce Laws: Is NJ a 50-50 Divorce State?

No, New Jersey is not a 50-50 divorce state. New Jersey is an equitable distribution state, meaning the marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. Instead, the family court will decide what is fair based on the circumstances of each case.

Call our law firm in Somerset County at (908) 259-6673 or email us online to schedule a consultation. Our family law attorneys are proud to serve clients across Central New Jersey.
