Civil court procedure in New Jersey depends on the type of case: Civil Part (no monetary limit, all kinds of cases), Special Civil (monetary limits, landlord-tenant, small claims), or General Equity (injunctions, foreclosures, other equitable relief that doesn't involve a money judgment). It also depends in part on the local rules for a given county or vicinage. Since I don't know what type of case you have, there's no way to sum it up - but I can provide some sources.

The first source below is the NJ court system's own guide to Civil Courts, and it covers the different types of cases, how to file complaints, how to prepare for court, and lots of other information.

The second source is CourtReference's guide to New Jersey courts self-help and legal research resources. Click the blue links for "Legal Information and Self Help Resources", "Legal Rights and the Court Process", "Court Rules", "The New Jersey Judicial Process", or similar links for more information. Scroll down the page to your county to see if there are links to local procedural information. Some links are to the NJ courts' official website; others are to non-profit organizations that also provide legal information.

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.
