There are lots of stories about people delaying seeking medical care because of their fear of getting the coronavirus. I see public service announcements urging people to take care of themselves and get the help they need; it is safe to do so. The same applies if you are unhappy in your marriage and want to get divorced. While the courts remain primarily closed for in-person proceedings, it is possible to have video meetings, submit paperwork online or mail in your court documents. The court docket is finding a way to move along.
If you used divorce mediators to reach your divorce agreement then you only have to “show up” in court one time for your uncontested divorce- the day your divorce is finalized. Divorce Mediation is a court recognized settlement process. So, in some areas of New Jersey there are times when your attorney can represent you in court and you don’t have to go at all. If you want to represent yourself in court you can complete all the paperwork yourself and show up for court in your home for a virtual meeting on your scheduled day. You can get more information about the court process here and a divorce self-help guide from Legal Services of New Jersey here.
Now you are able to move forward with your divorce from the comfort of your own home. And if you need help taking the first step you can call the helpful divorce mediators at Westfield Mediation, LLC. Currently we are having all meetings virtually. So, take care of yourself and don’t put off getting a divorce if that is your intention. It is safe to do so.
