Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Childcare

Hi,

You should be able to get more time, especially if you have joint custody. The Courts usually perfer the child to be with the parents rather than another person.

You would have to file a motion to enforce the current Court Order and in the motion seek additional parenting ("visitation") time with your son.

Please call my office if you would like to schedule an appointment. My contact information can be obtained from the links below. Let my secretary know you found me through LawGuru, and I will give you a free initial consultation.

Disclaimer: you can not rely on the advice of an attorney given over the internet. The exact facts of your situation, including facts which you have not mentioned in your question, may completely change the result for your situation.

Re: Childcare

I've been in this situation before and a lot depends on the judge and your character. Assuming there is nothing wrong with you, i.e. drug problems, criminal record, etc. I don't see why you couldn't get some of this additional time. Keep in mind you probably can't get all as grand parents have right to.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 and we can discuss your case and the options you have.

Good luck!
