NJ Court Locations and Information
With certain limitations, the public is permitted free access to the courts and are afforded the opportunity to represent themselves without the assistance of counsel. However, just as driving through an unfamiliar area searching for a specific location, navigating through the judicial system is not an easy process for those individuals who lack experience and knowledge of the potential pitfalls. This is particularly true when an individual attempts to be self-represented at a time of personal crisis and turmoil.
Just as an experienced driver will get you to your destination quickly and safely, an experienced attorney can bring your matter to a resolution and help you achieve the best possible results under the circumstances.
When filing a Complaint for divorce, a threshold question is which Court has proper jurisdiction over the dispute. Whether the parties are residents of Monmouth County, Ocean County or Atlantic County, a Complaint for divorce, child support, domestic violence or other contested matters should be filed in that vicinage.
