It is common for one spouse to show up and start working. When it looks reasonable, then the other spouse shows up and they look for a real place, move the kids, etc. That is why actually establishing a residency - this is home - isn't really an exact date. Pick a date when you were both there and it felt like you were really at your new home. You may have a rental agreement or utility bills, something to show you were there.
You will include income the spouse earned before you got there- on NJ but not income you earned elsewhere.
NJ should tax all NJ income and all income during residency. You understand!
