Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Does a 16 yr old have rights in visitation

Children who reach a certain age of maturity have a right to make their own decisions about visitation. There is no particular age; however, in your daughter's case, 16 would seem to meet the standard. From a realistic standpoint, I would think your ex would need to file a Motion to enforce his visitation. However, you could force the issue by filing your own Motion. The former choice would probably be preferred by you. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit ofinformation 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 may want to contact an attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. If you call me, [856-546-8010] mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
