You need to file in court for a "dissolution." Although it is not called a "divorce," the same procedure applies. A civil union is basically a marriage that is not called a "marriage" and a dissolution is a divorce that is not called a "divorce."

Is a New Jersey domestic partnership the same as a New Jersey civil union?

No. Civil unions, which New Jersey still offers despite having legalized same-sex marriage, is the equivalent of marriage in that state, except that it is called a "civil union" and it is not recognized by the US federal government. Civil unions are only for same-sex couples in New Jersey. Domestic partnerships have fewer rights, no federal recognition and are available to same-sex or opposite-sex couples. Domestic partners are required to live together, but civil union partners are not required to live together. Domestic partnerships are dissolved administratively by a single form, civil unions are dissolved by divorce proceedings in a state court.
