About this form
This packet opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in New Jersey, where both spouses agree on the terms.
New Jersey is a one-spouse complaint state in the Family Part. Irreconcilable differences require a six-month breakdown and one year of New Jersey residency (N.J.S.A. 2A:34-2(i), 2A:34-10). There is no statutory wait after filing. The FAQ below covers the details.
See page 1 of the actual blank form and review a plain-language outline. The complete formatted documents are delivered after checkout.
COMPLAINT FOR DIVORCE (NO MINOR CHILDREN). This is the filing that opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in a New Jersey Family Part. One spouse files; New Jersey does not have a statewide joint-petition form.
Caption: Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Family Part, in the county required by R. 5:7-1.
Residency and venue: one year of New Jersey residency for irreconcilable differences (N.J.S.A. 2A:34-10). Venue is a separate four-step rule. Do not collapse the two.
Grounds: irreconcilable differences for six months (N.J.S.A. 2A:34-2(i)). There is no statutory waiting period after filing.
The full packet also includes the insurance certification, acknowledgment of service, testimony, proposed Final Judgment, official CIS/CLIS/CDR forms, and step-by-step instructions.

The 1 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in PDF format. The packet centers on the Complaint for Divorce that opens an uncontested no-fault case, plus the supporting filing documents and reference materials shown above.
Because this packet uses irreconcilable differences, one spouse must have been a bona fide New Jersey resident for the one year next preceding filing (N.J.S.A. 2A:34-10). Venue is a separate rule: file in the county where the plaintiff was domiciled when the cause of action arose, or the next available R. 5:7-1 branch. Confirm the county with the Family Division clerk.
New Jersey grants a no-fault divorce when irreconcilable differences have caused the breakdown of the marriage for a period of six months and there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation (N.J.S.A. 2A:34-2(i)). One spouse files a Complaint in the Superior Court, Chancery Division, Family Part. New Jersey does not have a statewide joint-petition form.
There is no statutory waiting period after filing. The court will not enter a Final Judgment of Divorce until service or appearance is complete, required papers are on file, and — if a minor child is involved — the Parents’ Education Program is finished unless a party is exempted or not referred (N.J.S.A. 2A:34-12.5). Some counties take uncontested cases on certifications using official CN 12620; some still want a brief appearance (Directive 01-25). Ask the clerk. Court schedules vary by county.
No. This packet is built for uncontested cases where both spouses cooperate, usually by signing an acknowledgment of service and appearance. If your spouse will not participate, consult a New Jersey attorney about service, default, and R. 5:5-10 notice.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. Consult a New Jersey attorney if you have significant property, retirement accounts, business interests, safety concerns, or any disagreement about terms.
