Over whom?

This would depend a great deal on whether the biological mother is deemed a fit mother.

While NJ tends to favor the mother, the law itself does not. I suggest you speak with an attorney. Since you did not file an appeal, it could be tough to turn this around almost a year later.

Usually the mother gets primary residential custody of her children because she is the more nurturing parent, but this is not an ironclad rule.

Call me if you like.
