Q: Is e-filing mandatory for divorce in Elizabeth?

A: E-filing is mandatory for attorneys but optional for self-represented parties. If you’re filing without a lawyer, you can choose to e-file (recommended) or file paper documents in person at Union County courthouse. E-filing is faster, more convenient, and provides instant confirmation.

Q: How much does e-filing cost in Union County?

A: Union County divorce filing fee is $300 whether you e-file or file in person. There is NO additional charge for e-filing. If you use 345 Divorce for document preparation and e-filing assistance: $345 flat fee + $300 court fee = $645 total.

Q: Can I e-file divorce documents 24/7?

A: Yes! The NJ E-Filing Portal is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can file at 2 AM on Sunday if you want. Documents filed after business hours or on weekends are processed the next business day, but your filing date/time is preserved.

Q: What if I make a mistake while e-filing?

A: BEFORE submission: You can edit, delete, re-upload documents freely. AFTER submission: You cannot recall submitted documents. If you discover error after filing, you may need to file amended/corrected documents (may require additional fees). This is why professional assistance from 345 Divorce is valuable—we ensure documents are correct BEFORE filing.

Q: How long does e-filing take compared to paper filing?

A: E-filing is instant (documents transmitted to court immediately). Paper filing requires physical courthouse visit during business hours (Monday-Friday 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM), waiting in line, clerk review time. E-filing saves hours of time and courthouse travel.

Q: Can I e-file if I live outside Union County but my spouse lives in Westfield?

A: Yes, as long as you or your spouse has been a New Jersey resident for 12+ months. Venue (which county you file in) is typically determined by where the plaintiff (person filing) lives. If you live outside Union County, you would file in your county. But if you live in Union County and spouse lives elsewhere, file in Union County.

Q: Do I need to e-file if I already have a lawyer?

A: If you have an attorney, THEY must e-file on your behalf (mandatory for attorneys). You don’t e-file yourself. However, if you’re using 345 Divorce mediation service (not full representation), we guide YOU through e-filing as a self-represented party.

Q: What happens after I e-file my divorce?

A: After e-filing, Union County court clerk reviews your documents (1-2 weeks typically). If documents are acceptable, clerk assigns docket number and your case proceeds. If issues found, clerk may reject filing (you receive notification explaining what needs correction). For uncontested divorce with proper MSA, next step is usually court review and Final Judgment (3-6 months total process).
