A 5725 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes court to order temporary access to marital residence by party in divorce proceedings.

This bill allows New Jersey family courts to order temporary access to a marital home for one spouse during divorce proceedings, regardless of whether the property is jointly owned, solely owned, or leased. The court would set the duration of access without affecting ownership rights or property titles. It does not apply if a domestic violence restraining order protects the other party. The law would take effect immediately upon enactment.
