Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: 16 year old change in custody

Thank you for your inquiry.

Provided that the child is a teenager, the Court will give much deference to the child's wishes. However, as these cases are quite complicated and fact sensitive, I really need to learn more facts before drawing any final conclusions.

As it would be my pleasure to speak to you regarding your custody situation, please feel free to contact my office at 732 246 0909 to discuss same.

Very truly yours,

Re: 16 year old change in custody

You need to file for an immediate change in custody. Based on what you have indicated, it appears that you could create a very persuasive case for a change in custody, especially since your son is at an age where he can basically determine where he wants to live, assuming he will testify in that manner to the Court. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, you needto contact an attorney immediately (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. Feel free to call me for an appointment at 856-546-8010. Mention LawGuru and your first one hour consultation is free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
