Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Consent to take the kids out of NJ

Usually consent or a court order is needed to take a child out of the country or to move to another state with a child, permanently. If you are talking about visiting Disney World go on and enjoy yourself.

Re: Consent to take the kids out of NJ

Mr. Moore pretty much stated the law for you, you can visit NYC, philly, Florida or whatever, you can just can't move there unless you have a court order or the other parent's consent.

If you want to go to court to contest a removal or to remove the children yourself, I suggest you get an attorney as it can be very diffuclt to do.

Re: Consent to take the kids out of NJ

As long as the parent does it during his or her own parenting time, the technical answer is yes, since the removal statute does not apply to a visit outside of the state. However, the child's best interests must still be served in that the other parent should be notified and other circumstances surrounding the child should be considered.

Re: Consent to take the kids out of NJ

You can not take the child out of the State of New Jersey, without permission from the other party or the Court, or you will risk court action against you.

Vacation: sure, a visit to Manhattan or Florida for a week should be fine, and you should get your ex-spouse to agree to it.

If there is a lot of conflict, and you can not get your exspouse to agree, then you had better see an attorney before you do.
