Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
My ex-wife and I have been divirced for 8 months. we share 50/50 custody of our child, allthough her primary residence is with her mother. I am supposed to be able to speak to my daughter, when she is not here, at least daily. She is seven. Her devient mother, refuses to let me speak with her, and has for quite a while. Do I have to take her back to the county court where we were divorced to seek relief, or can I file in the county where I reside currently?

You must file where your case was venue. Additionally, if the child still lives in the county where your case was venued, venue will not be change. You must consult with an attorney.
Call me if you like.
This kind of nonsense happens all of the time. If you have to file a motion, yes, it would be in the county where you were divorced, unless your daughter and ex now live in a different location.
You will want to take action to 'make a record' to show the Judge that she is continuously doing this, before you file a motion.
Because this is so common, a lot of motions get filed by fathers and mothers accusing the other of preventing them from seeing the child or failing to return the child from visitation. Since there are so many of these motions, you have to be smart about this. You do not want to be just another exhusband complaining about the exwife.
I can help you do to this motion. And I will tell you up front what it will cost to do this for you.
Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the telephone call and no charge for the first office visit.
