Will I Have to Prove That Our Marital Problems Are the Fault of My Spouse?

Marital fault has almost no legal significance in the State of New Jersey. For this reason, the large majority of divorces are filed based upon grounds of irreconcilable differences, rather than grounds based upon the fault of one of the parties. The relatively few exceptions may involve cases in which one spouse was subjected to severe abuse during the marriage and where one spouse engaged in some criminal conduct to the detriment of the other spouse.
