Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Moving to a different state with my kids.
I currently live in New Jersey. I am being told that I can't leave New Jersey. I am 22 years old and have 2 children. I am wanting to move back Texas with my mother. So I can better support my kids and have the help of my family. I have no support from my ex husband. It is not stated in the divorce papers that I can't leave. Help on this matter would help me greatly.
Thank you very much.

Re: Moving to a different state with my kids.
Thank you for your inquiry.
Under both state and federal law, you cannot remove the minor children from New Jersey without
either a Consent Order or an Order from the Superior Court allowing you to do so. However, I believe that the fact that you have family in Texas will help your case significantly. Finally, there is a very recent Supreme Court case that has changed the law regarding the removal of children.
As it would be my pleasure to speak to you regarding your potential relocation to Texas, please feel free to contact my office at 732 246 0909 to discuss same.
Very truly yours,
