The fact of the matter is that unlike some other states, New Jersey does not have a formal law authorizing Legal Separation.
Other states, such as New york, do offer a formal Legal Separation as an option for couples wishing to stop living as husband and wife, but on the other hand are not ready yet to file for divorce. Some people are mistaken to think that there is legal separation in the state of NJ, but in fact, applying for divorce is done directly, and unless there is other grounds for divorce, many couples declare irreconcilable differences as a cause for their divorce, which does not exist as grounds for divorce in the state of NY.
