Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: NJ state law regarding leaving children at home unsupervised

There is no specific law in this regard. Basically, as a parent, you have the obligation to properly supervise your children. If you do not, the Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) may step in and file a complaint for neglect against you. In the most egregious situations, this may lead to a complaint to terminate parental rights. Obviously, this is very serious. Therefore, since you have apparently not retained an attorney in this case, you should contact an attorney (either me or someone else) immediately to discuss your matter in more detail. I will be happy to assist you. However, you need to call me at 856-546-8010. If you mention LawGuru, there will be no charge for your first consultation. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
