Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Grand child custody

Yes, there is. The parents can do a special power of attorney that allows you to act as the child's parent would be able to act (put child into school, get medical treatment, etc.). It needs to be renewed every 6 months, but that is simple to do, fast and cheap.

More permanent arrangements can be made, but much more complex to do.

If you would like, give me a call to set up an appointment; I am in northern New Jersey. The consultation may be free, speak to me and I will let you know ahead of time. I will do what I can to help you out.

Re: Grand child custody

Sure there is, just go to the court in the county where the children are and tell them what you want to do. They will give you the necessary motion papers for your to fill out. If the parents consent, this shouldn't be a problem. However, if you even plan to adopt them, you may want to get an attorney as that could be very difficult, but again if you have their consent, you may still be OK without one.

Re: Grand child custody

Just go to the county court house where you live and ask for the nondissolution family part office. Go to that office and explain what you want. They will provide you will a form to complete and prepare a custody complaint based on the information in the form while you wait which you will sign and will be filed with the Court and sent to the parents by the court.
