Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

If it becomes necessary to seek relief from the Court, a judge would probably authorize such a trip.

Without knowing more about your case or reading any prior orders, I can tell you that, typically, parents are allowed to take their children on family vacations with them. In this sort of situation, I might advise a client to work out a short written agreement with the other parent and include lots of specifics about the trip, possibly including a provision that the other parent will have the opportunity to speak to the child via telephone before and after the plane trip. If the other parent still doesn't agree to the trip, the traveling parent may file a Motion or Order to Show Cause to the Court. I agree with Mr. Moore above that a judge would likely authorize such a trip absent extenuating circumstances.
