Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Grandparent visitation

Your question seems to have more emotional issues, rather than legal ones. From a legal standpoint, your question cannot be fully answered without more information, including what your Separation Agreement or Divorce Decree may say and the age of your children. In theory, there is nothing prohibiting your father from seeing your children on his own schedule, if appropriate arrangements can be made. However, it seems to me that you should be aware. As indicated, more detail is needed for a good answer. On the other hand, it seems like an awful long time has passed. To allow this barrier between you and your father to continue is not good for your children or for you. Somehow, someway, you and he need to work through this. I would suggest that you speak with him and, if necessary, you may want to suggest that the two of you seek a good counselor together; for your best interests and for your children's best interests. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly 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
