Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Non-custodial parent moving out of state
I have sole legal residential custody of the child. I have never been married to the father. He has decided to quit his job and move to another state. He now has visitation twice a week at my home and 3 hours every other Sunday at his home. I am permitted to be persent at all visitation. What happens to visitation once he moves.
Thank you.

Hi,
The move to another state is a substantial change in circumstance that would allow you to apply to the Court to change the order. You did not provide enough information, like what state, who does the driving to his house, do you want to go to another state, etc. I would suggest you consult an attorney to determine if you should file a motion with the court to revise the Court Order.

Nothing really, it will stay the same, just that part of it will be impossible. He can still visit at your house if he wants to drive/fly but he can't bring the child out of state, so that part will only apply if he has some place in state to bring them. I assume he will move to get a different set up. If you need any assistance with this, please call me at 732/237/3340. My initial consultations are always free.
