⚖️ Family Court in Hudson County: A Pressure Cooker
The Hudson County Superior Court – Family Division in Jersey City is located at 595 Newark Ave, and if you’ve been there (or read the reviews), you know it can be a madhouse.
With thousands of cases backed up—including FM divorces and FD custody/support hearings—families are often:
- Rushed through short hearings
- Left confused about outcomes
- Drained emotionally and financially
- Feeling like the court doesn’t truly understand their situation
We’ve seen countless families in Jersey City and surrounding Hudson County towns walk into court with high hopes—and walk out more frustrated than ever.
But here’s the good news:
✅ If both parties are willing to try, you can resolve your issues through mediation—100% online—without going to court.
And even if you already have a hearing scheduled, it’s not too late to switch gears.
🧠 FM vs. FD Cases: Who Benefits from Online Mediation?
🔹 FM Docket: For Divorcing Couples
If you’re legally married and going through a divorce in Hudson County, you’re in the FM docket.
Mediation helps you resolve:
- Division of property and debts
- Alimony/spousal support
- Parenting plans and custody
- Child support
Instead of spending months (and thousands of dollars) in litigation, couples are choosing an uncontested divorce in Jersey City — where everything is negotiated in mediation, and then filed online without an attorney.
🔹 FD Docket: For Never-Married Parents with Kids
Unmarried parents dealing with custody, parenting time, or child support are handled in the FD docket.
This group is rapidly growing in Hudson County—and sadly, many wind up battling for years in Family Court.
Online mediation is a better option when:
- You’re trying to establish custody/support without court conflict
- You want to modify a previous agreement
- You’re tired of adjournments, lawyers, and delays
Our child custody mediation in New Jersey works for both new and existing FD cases.
