Our Simple 7-Step Process

We’ve streamlined divorce filing into a clear, straightforward process that takes the confusion and stress out of ending your marriage. Here’s exactly how it works:

1

Free Initial Consultation

Call us at 201-205-3201 or contact us through www.345divorce.com to discuss your situation. We’ll explain the uncontested divorce process, answer your questions, confirm that our services are right for you, and provide transparent pricing information with no hidden fees.

What We’ll Ask: How long you’ve been married, whether you have children, whether you’ve reached agreements on property division and support, which New Jersey county you’ll be filing in, and your timeline for completing the divorce.

2

Complete Our Detailed Questionnaire

We provide you with a comprehensive questionnaire that gathers all necessary information for your divorce documents. This covers your marriage details, information about both spouses, asset and debt information, income and employment details, and if applicable, children’s information and custody arrangements.

Time Required: Most couples complete the questionnaire in 45-90 minutes. You can work on it together or separately, and save your progress to complete over multiple sessions.

3

Gather Required Documents

We’ll provide you with a document checklist specifying exactly what you need. Common documents include marriage certificate, recent pay stubs (both spouses), bank statements, retirement account statements, mortgage statements or lease agreements, vehicle titles or loan information, and tax returns (typically last 2 years).

Help Available: We guide you on where to obtain any missing documents and can often work with incomplete documentation initially.

4

We Prepare All Divorce Documents

Our experienced team prepares all required court documents with meticulous attention to detail including Complaint for Divorce, Marital Settlement Agreement (property division and support), Parenting Plan (if children are involved), Child Support Worksheets (if applicable), Case Information Statements for both parties, all required certifications and affidavits, and Summons and filing cover sheets.

Pricing: Our service starts at $345 for basic uncontested divorces. Additional documents such as complex Marital Settlement Agreements, detailed Parenting Plans, QDRO coordination, or specialized agreements may result in additional fees. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation based on your specific needs.

Quality Assurance: Every document is reviewed for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with New Jersey court rules and your county’s specific requirements.

5

Review and Sign Documents

We send you all prepared documents for your review. You have the opportunity to review everything carefully, ask questions about any provisions, request revisions if needed, and confirm everything is accurate before signing.

What You’ll Sign: Both spouses sign the Marital Settlement Agreement and Parenting Plan (if applicable). Other documents require only one spouse’s signature initially. We provide clear instructions on what needs to be signed, notarized, and when.

6

We File Your Divorce with the Court

Once all documents are signed, we handle the court filing process including submitting the Complaint for Divorce and all supporting documents to your county’s Family Court, paying the filing fee (approximately $300, separate from our service fee), ensuring proper formatting and compliance with local court rules, and obtaining your court docket number and case information.

Counties We Serve: All 21 New Jersey counties including Hudson, Bergen, Essex, Passaic, Union, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Somerset, and all others.

7

Service and Finalization

After filing, your spouse must be officially served with the divorce papers (we coordinate this process and can arrange Sheriff service or process server). We submit proof of service to the court. After a brief waiting period (typically 30-45 days for uncontested divorces), we submit your Final Judgment of Divorce. The court reviews and signs the Final Judgment, officially ending your marriage.

Timeline: Most uncontested divorces finalize within 2-4 months from initial filing, depending on your county’s court schedule.

Real Client Success Stories

“After 12 years of marriage, my husband and I decided to divorce amicably. We didn’t want to spend thousands on attorneys when we’d already agreed on how to divide everything. 345 Divorce was perfect – they prepared all our paperwork correctly, filed everything with Bergen County court, and we had our final divorce in just 10 weeks. The whole process cost us less than $750 total (their fee plus court costs). Highly recommend!”

– Sarah M., Ridgewood, Bergen County

“I was overwhelmed by how complicated divorce paperwork seemed. My ex and I wanted an uncontested divorce but had no idea where to start. 345 Divorce walked us through everything step-by-step, answered all our questions, and made sure our settlement agreement covered everything properly. Our case was a bit more complex with children and a house, so it cost a bit more than their base price, but still only $495 total for their services – we saved probably $15,000 compared to hiring lawyers.”

– Michael T., Jersey City, Hudson County

“We tried using one of those online DIY divorce websites and it was a disaster – forms didn’t match our county’s requirements and we got overwhelmed. We switched to 345 Divorce and they had everything fixed and filed within 2 weeks. They know exactly what Somerset County Family Court needs. So glad we found them.”

– Jennifer L., Bridgewater, Somerset County

Frequently Asked Questions

Do both spouses have to agree to use your service?

Yes. Our service is designed for uncontested divorces where both spouses have reached agreements on all major issues (property division, support, custody if applicable). If you and your spouse are still negotiating or disagree on important matters, you may need mediation or separate attorneys. However, if you’ve already worked out your agreements informally, we can help you formalize them into proper legal documents.

What if we have complex assets like businesses or multiple properties?

We can handle many cases with complex assets, as long as you and your spouse have already agreed on how to divide everything. Our service includes preparation of detailed Marital Settlement Agreements that can address business interests, multiple real estate holdings, retirement accounts, investments, and other complex assets. If your situation requires specialized documents like QDROs (Qualified Domestic Relations Orders) for retirement account division, we can coordinate with specialists or refer you to appropriate counsel.

How long does the process take?

Most of our clients complete the questionnaire and document gathering within 1-2 weeks. We then prepare all documents within 5-7 business days. After you review and sign, we file with the court immediately. New Jersey courts typically finalize uncontested divorces within 30-90 days after filing, depending on the county and court schedule. Total timeline from start to finish: 2-4 months for most cases.

What counties do you serve?

We serve all 21 New Jersey counties: Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Salem, Somerset, Sussex, Union, and Warren. We’re familiar with each county’s specific procedures, local court rules, and filing requirements.

What’s not included in the base $345 fee?

Our base $345 fee covers document preparation for straightforward uncontested divorces. Additional fees may apply for: complex Marital Settlement Agreements involving multiple properties or business interests, detailed Parenting Plans with special provisions, specialized documents like QDROs if needed (we can refer you to specialists), and rush service if requested. Not included regardless of complexity: court filing fee (approximately $300, paid directly to the court) and service of process fees if using Sheriff or process server (typically $25-75). We provide complete, transparent pricing during your free consultation based on your specific situation – no hidden fees or surprises.

Can you help if one spouse lives out of state?

Yes, as long as at least one spouse meets New Jersey’s residency requirement (resident of NJ for at least 12 consecutive months before filing). We can prepare all documents and coordinate service on an out-of-state spouse. The out-of-state spouse will have longer to respond (60 days if served within the US, 90 days if served outside the US), but the process otherwise works the same.
