Summary — A5725A (PRINT NO. 5725A) — Introduced May 22, 2025

Important note: the bill metadata supplied includes two conflicting items. The bill title given at the top refers to liquor retail licenses for airline lounges, but the actual introduced bill text and statement concern temporary access to the marital residence during divorce proceedings. This summary is based on the bill text (divorce / temporary access). Users should verify the official legislative text to confirm the chamber’s final title and content.

Main purpose

A5725A authorizes a New Jersey family court, at the request of a party after a divorce complaint has been filed, to order temporary access to the marital residence by one party. The order is intended to permit temporary occupancy or access without altering ownership or other property interests.

Key provisions

  • Court authority: At the request of either party after a complaint for divorce is filed, the court may order the other party to allow the requesting party temporary access to the marital residence.
  • Ownership/lease irrelevant: The order may be issued regardless of whether the residence is jointly or solely owned or leased by either party.
  • No change in title/interest: The order does not affect title or ownership interests in the real property held by either party or jointly.
  • Duration: The court will set the duration of the temporary access.
  • Domestic violence exception: The section does not apply if one party is protected by a temporary or permanent restraining order under the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act of 1991 (N.J.S.A. 2C:25-17 et seq.).
  • Effective date: The act takes effect immediately upon enactment.
  • Statutory placement: Supplements chapter 34 of Title 2A of the Revised Statutes.

Who is affected

  • Parties to a pending divorce in New Jersey who seek temporary access to the marital residence.
  • Property owners or lessees involved in divorce litigation (the order does not change property title but may affect occupancy).
  • Family courts and judges who will exercise discretion in issuing and defining such orders.
  • Not applicable to cases involving domestic violence restraining orders protecting the other party.
