Should I stay in the US until the divorce is over?
When you get a consensual divorce in New Jersey, The plaintiff must appear in court. Therefore, in case of a consensual divorce, we recommend that the party who can appear in court be the plaintiff.
On the other hand, in New York State, which is adjacent to New Jersey, if the divorce is fully consensual, If both parties submit properly prepared documents to the court, Both parties can obtain a consensual divorce judgment without going to court.
The procedural differences between these two states each have their pros and cons. New York State has the convenience of not appearing in court, After submitting the documents, the waiting time for the court judgment is relatively long, and in some cases, there is a delay of several months. Conversely, in New Jersey, you must appear in court. You can usually get a divorce decree on the same day you appear, so your divorce can be completed more quickly.
