Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

custody

My 19 year old son was arrested recently for a small amount of marijuana found in his car, he got a conditional discharge. My ex is taking me to court (we have a 10 year old girl we were never married and he is not my son's father) trying to get custody of my daughter over this incident. My son is a good boy who made a mistake, he goes to vocational school 2 hors a day and works everyday at his job since high school--name removed--I have multiple sclerosis and the stress of this worry is making me sick I hope you will be able to tell me if I really need to worry about this. Thank you so much.

Re: custody

Without seeing her motion, there is little I can tell you. I'm sure there is more to the story. I suggest you speak with an attorney to discuss this in more detail as there is nothing anyone can tell you on this website that would be that helpful. Call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.

Re: custody

It would depend on the why he feels there is a change in circumstances that would justify a change in custody.

He has the burden to show a change and how this would impact on the current arrangement.
