Courtney, Esquire AMENDED COMPLAINT FOR DIVORCE, Based on 18 Month Separation The Plaintiff, Abigey Suarez Otero, a/k/a Abigey Rivera Rosello, whose address is protected by an Order of Protection, entered by the Superior Court of Connecticut, by way of Complaint against defendant says: Exhibit "A" 1. Plaintiff entered into a lawful marriage with the Defendant, Daniel Rivera Rosello, on July 3, 2015, in a civil ceremony in the Town of Norwich, County of New London, and State of Connecticut. 2. Plaintiff was a bona fide resident of the State of New Jersey when this cause of action arose and has ever since and for more than one year preceding the commencement of this action continues to be a bona fide resident of this state. 3. Defendant currently resides 126 Church Street, Willimantic, Connecticut 06226. 4. The parties have lived separate and apart in different habitations for a period of eighteen (18) months, commencing on or about 10 years ago. To the best of plaintiff's knowledge and belief, the parties separated somewhere on or around 2015. Ever since that time and for more than 18 consecutive months, the parties have lived separately and apart and in different locations. The separation has continued to the present time and there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation. 5. At the expiration of the 18 months, Plaintiff was residing in the State of Pennsylvania. Plaintiff moved to Salem County, State of New Jersey in approximately 2019. Consequently, this matter is properly venued in Salem County. 6. This was plaintiff's first marriage. It is unknown to plaintiff, if defendant had any prior marriages. 7. There were no children born of the marriage and no children are expected. 8. There were no assets or debts acquired during the course of the marriage, therefore plaintiff is not seeking equitable distribution. 9. There has been one prior court proceeding between the parties: a. Abigey Suarez vs. Daniel R. Rivera, Case Number K21NCR150330478S, Order of Protection, dated February 17, 2016, with an expiration date of December 18, 2065. Exhibit "A" WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment: A. Adjudging that the parties are divorced from the bonds of matrimony pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2A:34-2(d); B.
