Divorces
- our holdings generally span the period 1743-1886. During
this time, divorces were granted only by legislative act or
decree of the Chancery Court. The best index for pre-twentieth-century
laws is John Hood's Index of Colonial and State Laws of
New Jersey ... (1905). See Chancery
Court page for pre-1886 divorce cases. For post-1886 divorces,
contact the Superior Court Records Management Center, 171
Jersey St., P.O. Box 967, Trenton, NJ 08625-0967, tel. 609-777-0092.
