Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Non-Custodial Parent who needs to move out of state
I am a non-custodial parent and currently live about 2 mins from my ex and my son. Unfortunately, I have been out of work for many months and in a serious financial mess. My only option at this point is to move back to my home state, 1200 miles away. What recourse do I have? I currently have joint cusotdy but would like to take my son with me. The situation there would be much better for both of us. I' have child care, round the clock family support and the means to obtain better employment possibilities. What are my options? Do I stand a chance in court? My ex currently has the advantage because of his financial stability unlike myself in this state. Any help and advice is welcomed. Thanks

Re: Non-Custodial Parent who needs to move out of state
You have a very big hurdle, transferring residential custody to yourself AND getting the Court's permission to move 1200 miles away. What is in the best interest of the child is always paramount, but you have to prove that what you want is in the best interest of the child.
