Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

joint custody
I have a 5 year old daughter who I have watched every weekend from Fri 2PM - Mon 12PM for probably 3 years(now she is in school but I still have her the 3 nights, just less day time).. I pay about 220 a month in child support also. Other than the normal high and mighty attitude from the mother we get along ok...unfortunately I havent obtained joint custody yet. Everytime i ask her to make time for it she refuses. How do i go through the courts to get it. Id prefer sole custody but id be dreaming. Really my only reason for wanting joint custody is to make it harder for her to take off if she ever decided to. She already tried 3 years ago but didnt because her relationship ended. Considering my relationship with my daughter is very strong will that be enough to make this easy?

Re: joint custody

How did you wind up paying CS without getting JC? Are we talking legal or physical? I need more information before I can help you here.
