Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

custodial parent nad relocation

I am the custodial parent of my child. My court order states that we have ''joint legal'' of my child. He has her twice a month and three weeks in the summer. The child resides with me and always has. I am now married and have more children. We would like to move out of state. Relocation was never addressed in the courts, can

we move?

You can move outside of New Jersey permanently with either the father's consent or a court order.

Call me if you like.

Re: custodial parent nad relocation

You need either the child's father's permission, or you need to get an Order from the Court saying that you can. You would need to file a 'Motion" to request this, and take the necessary legal steps.

The Court Clerk or Legal Aid might, perhaps, help you to do this, if you have no way to hire an attorney.

If you would like me to assist, please call my office. I am in Hackensack. A half hour consultation will be $75.00. You can then decide how you would like to proceed.

If he does not consent, and I'm sure he won't, you need to file a motion. I suggest you see an attorney as these motions are very complicated. I have several right now and an expert is needed in about half the cases.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.
