Protecting Your Custody and Visitation Rights
Under New Jersey law, a custodial parent must demonstrate that a proposed relocation with a child is in the best interest of the child. It must be done for a legitimate purpose and in good faith, and not just to deny the non-relocating parent time with the child. Nevertheless, courts in this state routinely grant relocation requests.
The Law Offices of James M. Newman and Associates, LLC, has successfully represented many parents in relocation cases, including both parents wishing to relocate with children and those contesting the relocation.
Whatever your situation, you should obtain representation from an experienced family law attorney. Contact us to schedule an appointment about your case.
New Jersey Child Custody Modification Attorneys
Many child relocation cases become heated disputes that require significant legal efforts and expense. Not only will there be numerous court hearings, but experts such as a child psychologist may also have to be retained to conduct a social study and evaluation of the effects of the move on the child. Before undertaking such an effort, we will explain the legal process and potential costs, as well as the factual and legal issues that will shape the outcome of your case. If litigation is required, our attorneys will vigorously represent you at all stages of the legal process.
In some cases, it may be possible to reach an accommodation with the other parent. These agreements usually involve granting the non-relocating parent extra time with the child at holidays and/or in the summer months. Other satisfactory arrangements may be possible. At our firm, we are skilled negotiators, and we will seek to obtain the best result for you and your child.
