    You need to file NY and NJ returns. You file as part-year resident for both returns.

    You pay taxes to NJ on X.

    You pay taxes to NY on Y; the credit you get for paying NY taxes will mostly if not totally offset any tax owed to NJ on Y.

    you pay taxes to NY on Z.

    You can file jointly on all returns because all governments consider you married for the ENTIRE year regradlless of when in the year you got married.
