New Jersey Uncontested Divorce Kit
The Correct Forms for the "Irreconcilable Differences" Process & Case Information Statement
New Jersey courts require specific documents—most notably the mandatory Case Information Statement (CIS) regarding your finances. Without a proper CIS and Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA), your case will stall. Our kit organizes these critical forms for you.
Includes Complaint, CIS, MSA & Judgment of Divorce.

Frequently Asked Questions
“What is a Case Information Statement (CIS)?”
The CIS is a mandatory financial document required in all contested and most uncontested NJ divorce cases. It details your income, assets, liabilities, and budget. Our kit helps you complete it correctly.
“What is a Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA)?”
An MSA is a contract between you and your spouse settling all issues (alimony, custody, property). It is attached to your Final Judgment of Divorce and becomes a court order.
“Do I have to go to court?”
Not always. New Jersey allows for "Divorce on the Papers" (uncontested) where you submit a certification instead of appearing in court. However, some judges may still require a brief hearing.
“How long do I have to be separated?”
If you file based on "Irreconcilable Differences" (the most common ground), you do not need to be separated for any specific length of time, but the breakdown must have lasted at least 6 months. For "Separation" grounds, you must live apart for 18 months.
