Grounds for a No-Fault Divorce
Irreconcilable differences were added by the New Jersey Legislature as a no-fault ground for divorce in 2007. Irreconcilable differences means any difference that has arisen between the spouses which can not be reconciled, and which has caused an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. The breakdown must have lasted for more than six months prior to the filing of the Complaint for Divorce. There need not be proof of the differences or the breakdown of the marriage. The adopted of the irreconcilable differences cause of action greatly eased the filing requirements to obtain a divorce in New Jersey.
18-month separation had traditionally been the no-fault grounds for divorce in New Jersey. Prior to 2007, this was the only no-fault grounds for divorce in New Jersey. When the New Jersey State Legislature adopted irreconcilable differences as a no-fault grounds for divorce in New Jersey in 2007, it effectively eliminated the need for the 18-month separation as a no-fault grounds, and the filing under this basis is becoming rare.
