Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Father Seeking Custody of Children

If those are the facts that can be conveyed to the Court, I believe that you have a very good chance of obtaining custody. Certainly at 12 and 13, your children's opinion will be taken into consideration. Further, it is likely that a Court appointed expert will investigate the situation and these facts would be brought out. In order to put your case together (and have your best chances), you need to seek the advice of an attorney, retain him/her and then file for custody. There may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, before you take any further action, you should contact an attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. I will be happy to assist you. However, you need to call me at 856-546-8010. Good luck! Rob
