Why do you have to go to the Dominican Republic in order to obtain a divorce? New Jersey is a no-fault state.

No-Fault: Living separate and apart for 18 months and no reasonable prospect of reconciliation. [New Jersey Statutes Annotated; Title 2A, Chapter 34-2].

General: (1) adultery; (2) imprisonment for 18 months; (3) unnatural sexual behavior before or after marriage; (4) alcoholism and/or drug addiction; (5) willful desertion for 1 year; (6) cruel and inhuman treatment; (7) separation for 2 years caused by confinement for mental illness; and (8) extreme cruelty. [New Jersey Statutes Annotated; Title 2A, Chapter 34-2].

If it's uncontesed, no children or property, it won't take long to be finalized in New Jersey.
