Free New Jersey Divorce Worksheet & Separation Agreement

Your Guide to Get Organized and Put Everything in Writing.

In New Jersey, a separation agreement is any legal document signed by both spouses outlining the terms of the separation. Subjects resolved in a separation agreement can include child support, child custody, debt allocation and asset distribution.

Spouses wanting child support during the separation period, however, must file a claim with the New Jersey probation department.
