The COVID-19 pandemic caused a great disruption of life in New Jersey, just as it did throughout the country and around the world. Lives were lost, sweeping health protocols were adopted, and social distancing became a new norm. As the pandemic brought vast changes to trade and economic life, it also brought significant changes to the New Jersey court system, including the family courts. Virtual meetings and hearings revised protocols for electronic case management, which allowed family law cases to proceed on a normal schedule.
