Somerset County Separation Lawyer

Separation Attorneys Serving Morris County, Middlesex County, Hunterdon County, Union County & All of the State of New Jersey

All couples have their differences and experience varying levels of challenges during their marriage. If you are overwhelmed by marital problems but do not want a divorce, then a separation agreement may be a good option.

At DeTommaso Law Group, LLC, our Somerset County separation agreement attorneys provide professional and personalized representation. When you turn to us, we can help you understand your legal options and ensure that your rights remain protected.

Separation Agreement vs. Divorce vs. Judgement of Divorce from Bed & Board

In many ways, a separation agreement is much like a divorce. In New Jersey, a separation agreement requires couples to arrive at an agreement on many of the same issues that arise during a divorce.

There is also a Judgement of Divorce from Bed and Board in the State of New Jersey. Couples are able to obtain a Judgement of Divorce from Bed and Board in the same way they can obtain a divorce, except both parties must agree to it. Neither party can remarry until it becomes an absolute divorce.

Let our skilled separation agreement attorneys help you negotiate the terms of your separation agreement. Contact us online or call us today at (908) 274-3028.

Divorces and separation agreements both address the following:

Though there are some similarities, there is one significant difference: A separation agreement in NJ does not officially terminate a marriage. Though the couple has decided to live apart, they remain married.

A couple may choose a separation agreement because:

  • It gives them time to address their differences
  • It allows them to test the waters of living apart
  • It provides a better financial option than divorce
  • It allows both parties to remain on the same insurance plan
  • It satisfies divorce prerequisites in case the couple decides to divorce
  • It allows them to maintain their convictions against divorce
  • It is easily reversed so couples can resume living together right away
