New Jersey still does have fault-base grounds for divorce, such as adultery. But most of the time, not all, but most of the time, it really won´t make too much of a difference in your divorce case. That´s why you should consult with a divorce attorney about whether or not you should proceed in terms of a fault-base divorce or no-fault base divorce here in New Jersey.
When you file for adultery you actually have to list out where the adultery took place, the date and time of the adultery, and you have to name the person your spouse committed adultery within your divorce complaint and then serve them with a copy of it. This is called a notice of co-respondent. While you can still file for divorce based on the fault ground of adultery. Most of the time that’s not going to have a very big impact on a case. Unfortunately, whether or not your spouse cheated on you generally doesn’t impact equitable distribution or even alimony.
