Starting a small business is an exciting and challenging journey. It requires careful planning, hard work, and a lot of determination to make it successful. One aspect of running a business that can be intimidating for owners is dealing with legal requirements. In New Jersey, there are various legalities that small business owners should be aware of to avoid legal problems and protect their companies. In this blog, we will provide essential legal tips that every small business owner in New Jersey should know. 1. Choose the Right Legal Structure for Your Business: One of the primary decisions small business owners in New Jersey need to make relates to the legal structure of their company. Selecting the right structure can mean the difference between success and failure. The most common forms of business structures in New Jersey are Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, Limited Liability Company (LLC), and Corporation. Each structure has its pros and cons and varying legal formalities that should be considered. 2. Register Your Business: In New Jersey, all businesses must register with the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services. Registering your business is a critical step in complying with the State's legal requirements, obtaining tax identification numbers, and opening a business bank account.

We can help you go forward in New Jersey with a divorce and can communicate with you via phone, email, and fax to get the job done.

What Are the Requirements for a New Jersey Divorce?

If you want an uncontested divorce in New Jersey, you must meet specific requirements according to New Jersey divorce law. One of the spouses must be a resident of New Jersey for at least a year unless you are pleading adultery. You must meet one of the nine necessary grounds to file for divorce. Once grounds for divorce have been determined, you and your spouse must divide all assets and debts. If children are involved, you must determine child custody and support. New Jersey does not require the use of a lawyer to file for divorce, but the necessary paperwork must be filed at one of the parties' local Superior Court. To file for divorce in New Jersey, 1) a person must be a resident of the state for at least one year, or 2) when the ground is adultery that took place in New Jersey, one of the spouses must be a resident (there is no time limit). The spouse filing the action is called the Plaintiff; the spouse responding is called the Defendant. Divorce actions are filed in the Chancery Division, Family Part, of the Superior Court, which is the county court.

What Is a Contested Divorce?

A contested divorce requires that the Plaintiff file all the forms required in an uncontested action. The trajectory of a contested divorce, however, from filing to final judgment, is impossible to predict because of each side jockeying for its own advantage. Normally, the Defendant files an Answer with Counterclaims. Normally, the Defendant has 35 days to answer the Complaint by filing a Counterclaim. The Plaintiff then has 20 days to file a response to the Counterclaim. The divorce may begin contested but end uncontested because even as the parties are maneuvering for battle they sometimes continue to negotiate. Both spouses must file a Matrimonial Case Information Statement (CIS) within 20 days after the Defendant has answered the complaint. The CIS is each party's statement of contested issues, assets and liabilities, property owned by the spouses, spousal income and important financial issues. It may be updated and amended up to 20 days before the final hearing on the divorce.
