Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Custody of 17 year old child

At 17 her choice will be given great consideration. Is your husband going to fight for custody, if not then there is nothing to worry about. If so then yeah she does have some say.

Re: Custody of 17 year old child

I suggest you get an attorney to deal with the case in general. At 17, the choice is her's.

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

Re: Custody of 17 year old child

I have read what the other attorney wrote.

Now, dont take this wrong, but let me summarize:

you are in the middle of a divorce. You have to deal with it very soon.

You and your soon to be ex both probably have a job.

you have a child (children), and child support and college tuition needs to be paid. That is measured in tens of thousand of dollars.

Nothing that an attorney can say over this bulletin board can come close to helping you solve your problems. Careless actions by you will likely cost you thousands of dollars, make your life more difficult, and possibly cause additional harm to the child.

Hire an attorney. Go see an experienced divorce attorney located reasonably near you, and pay the attorney to review your situation carefully with you, and give you some guidance.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I will be happy to discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free.
