Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Child Custody/Support
My exgirlfriend was appointed
residential custody of my two
children and a few months ago I was
ordered to pay her child support
$150 per week. The thing is that I
have the children a total of eight
hours more than she does. She
drops them off every Wednesday at
5 pm and I return them on Sunday
at 9 am. If I have the kids more why
do I have to pay her? Also, the town
she lives in has metal detectors in
their elementry schools and the
town I live in was named a start
school district.
What is wrong with the court
system? Why was she appointed
residental custody and child support.

Re: Child Custody/Support
What went wrong is that you probably went to court without an attorney. When you don't have one, wacky things tend to happen. I have no idea why, but that is just my opinion since I handle many cases where my client first tries it on their own and things go wrong and then I come in and have to clean things up. When a lawyer gets in the case, the rules are followed and the matter seems rather routine.
I couldn't answer your question more specifically without knowing more of the facts. My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 and we can discuss what went on here.
