Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Moving out of state
I recently lost my husband, whom I have no children with. I have children from a previous marriage, we have joint custody. Since the passing of my husband I now have to work 2 jobs. I have family in NY who are willing to help me but want me to move up there with them. I want to move to NY, but still want my children to see their biological father for visitation. The visitation is every first, third and fifth weekend out of the month. If I move visitation might have to be reduced some, but I really need the financial help from my family right now.I am a nursery school teacher so I will be able to find a job easily, but need to know how I can convince a judge that financially this move will be better for me and my sons. I have no intention of interfearing with the fathers visitation, just make things workable for both of us.

Re: Moving out of state
You are moving for a good reason and moving to a neighboring state does not effectively deny your former husband regular visitation with the children. Visitation will just be a bit different. Call me at 800 273 7933, if you like.
Re: Moving out of state
Thank you for your inquiry.
The law requires that you are not allowed to leave the state of New Jersey with minor children without a Court Order. While I beleive that you have a strong case, I do need to learn more facts before drawing any final conclusions.
As it would be my pleasure to speak to you regarding your potential move, please feel free to contact my office at 732 246 0909 to discuss same.
