A:
If you and your spouse have been waiting for a Final Judgment of Divorce back from the Court, it may be worth it to contact the Family Division in Hudson County and inquire as to the status of your matter. The phone number is available on the New Jersey Superior Court website. It may be that the Court is simply backed up or it could be that there is additional information or filings needed to finalize the divorce. A phone call to the Court may assist you in determining what exactly is holding up the divorce and how to move forward. If you continue to encounter barriers, it may also be useful to consult a family law attorney. I hope this helps!
