New Jersey Child Custody Lawyers

Child custody is often the most contentious issue in divorce cases. Our lawyers understand that even in the most complex cases parents want what is in the best interest of their children. There are two types of custody in New Jersey-- legal custody and physical custody. Generally joint legal custody, which is decision making authority, is appropriate unless their is a serious issue surrounding our parties fitness as a parent or lack of ability to meaningful discuss their child's or children's health, education or welfare.  Physical custody and visitation are noew referred to as "parenting time."  The exact division of this time will depend upon the facts and circumstances of each case.  Our attorneys have successfully litigated many child custody cases, from cases involving simple custody to cases involving children with large trusts. Regardless of the complexity of the case, we strive to resolve custody disputes through mediation and arbitration. However, we have resolved many child custody cases through litigation when a negotiated resolution is not attainable.

New Jersey Relocation Lawyers

In addition to visitation issues, our attorneys often handle cases related to parental relocation and the removal or prevention of removal of children from the state of New Jersey. These arrangements are made either by an agreement between the two parents or by court order. Generally, the courts work to maintain both parents access to the child. There are also guidelines for when a child falls under the jurisdiction of New Jersey courts. Our child relocation lawyers have successfully resolved numerous child relocation cases.
