Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Absent father looking for parental rights after 11 years

My ex-husband left me when I was six months pregnant. He left the state

and I tracked him down and had his wages garnished. So I have received

weekly support. After 11 years he is asking that support be re-evaluated,

and that he receive parental rights....he wants my son to fly out to where he

lives (I am in NJ he is in Oregon) and visit him and his new family....

I clearly need to get a lawyer - is there any chance he could get visitation? I

am not concerned about the support payments

Re: Absent father looking for parental rights after 11 years

He can get visitation with your child. The question is whether he will go through the inconvenience that the state will require

The Court will not send you son to him until he

goes through some sort of break in period in which

he comes to New Jersey for visitation and undergoes some sort of evaluation of his home and family by probation in the court here he lives, at his expense.

Call me if you like.
