Do I have to file for divorce in NJ if I just moved to DE September 23, 2014?

  I have seen your question. My name is David Salvaggio.  I have more than 35 years of legal experience and head a law firm that devotes its practice exclusively to selected New Jersey Divorce and Family Law matters.  Please feel free to take a look at our Firm Website (www.salvaggiolaw.com) for further information about my firm.  The correct answer to your question is: In order for you to file for divorce in NJ, either your husband or you needs to have been a bonafide resident of NJ for the 12 months immediately preceding the filing of the Complaint for Divorce.  (There is an exception--but it pertains to adultery, which hopefully you do not have).      I would be happy to have a very brief telephone call with you, to get a few more facts. What you tell me remains confidential and there is no charge for the call. Your question does not specify the town in which your husband lives.  My firm's offices are located in Morristown, NJ (Morris County).  We handle cases in all of the counties in northern and central New Jersey, including not only Morris County but also Somerset, Hunterdon, Sussex, Warren, Passaic, Bergen, Hudson, Middlesex and Monmouth counties. If your husband lives in one of those counties, and you wish to schedule a brief, confidential telephone call with me, please call my office (973-455-1220) and speak to the firm’s Client Intake Coordinator Dara Vanderhoof.  She will be able to arrange a mutually convenient date and time for the call.  If not, please let me know what county your husband lives in, and I may be able to provide you with some suggestions for lawyers whom you may want to contact.     

You have to look at the residency requirements for Delaware.  In New jersey - to fle for divorce in NJ you have to live here for a year.  If it is similar in Delaware, you can wait until you've been there a year and then file in Delaware.
