Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Custody?moving out of state

Based on what you say, your chances are very favorable. You must have this confirmed in a Order signed by the Court. It will have to provide a method for your ex to have parenting time and access to your daughter. The more details the 2 of you can agree upon, the easier it will work.

We have done several of these Consent Orders at moderate cost. Contact me if you want to discuss it further.

Do you anticipate the other parent contesting sole custody?

If the other parent has visitation every other weekend your move might effect the visits.

I suggest you at least meet with an attorney to discuss this. You may not even need to hire one based upon the information you provided, but you should discuss the situation.

Re: Custody?moving out of state

I am totally puzzled by the way that people use the term "full legal custody." What does the term mean to you? The child has two parents and is entitled to experience both parents.

I think you mean that you want to retain your status of having primary residential custody of your child when you move to Florida. The Court will allow your move if it is made out of financial necessity, but the other parent is entitled to some compensatory adjustment in the visitation schedule. Usually, the noncustody parent has the child in the summer for a substantial period.

Call me if you like.
