Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

moving with my child

I would like to move out of NJ to FL with my 3 month old son. Right now his father has supervised visits in my home. I have family in FL and it will be easier on me financially to live there. What are my chances of being able to leave with him.

Re: moving with my child

I will tell you basically the same thing that I told another parent who asked the same question recently.

Unfortunately, you live too far from my office for me to be able to assist you. I will suggest that you find a decent divorce attorney not too far from you, and get some help with this.

You have a good chance, a very good chance, of success if you can show the Court that you have good reasons to move with the kids, and that it will not hurt the kids to do so.

If your ex will not agree to reasonable conditions (such as splitting the cost of airline tickets and longer times with the kids at summer vacation and school winter recess) then file a motion asking for permission to do this.

Your chances of success will be much greater with the assistance of a divorce attorney who does a good deal of work in your home county, Monmouth County.

Scrape together the money, borrow it or whatever you need to do, then get that attorney working for you and go to Court. Do not waste time.

Disclaimer: Your question and any response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and this law firm. You can not rely on the statements made by an attorney given over the internet. The response that you have received is based only on the small amount of information which you have provided. The exact facts of your situation, including facts which you have not mentioned in your question, may completely change the result for your situation.

The Court will probably allow you to move because you are motivated by the desire to improve the lives of your child and yourself. I would be glad to

assist you in this regard.
