Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: one parent moving out of state

If the other side does not consent, then yes and I suggest you get an attorney for it as it is not an easy standard.

Re: one parent moving out of state

It may depend on the terms of your Property Settlement Agreement and/or your Final Judgment of Divorce. The issue does not seem to be whether express authorization for the move is required; rather, there may be issues concerning parenting time. How will your move change pick up and drop off times? Presumably, you are moving further away - will this change who does the pick up and drop off? Will your ex have issues with where you are living and with whom? These are all issues that need to be addressed and if not resolved amicably, a Court may be called upon to resolve the issues. At the very least, you should discuss same with your ex and try to resolve the issues without the need for Court intervention. Then, any changes can be reduced to writing as an Addendum to the Property Settlement Agreement or as a Consent Order.

Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, you may want to contact a Family Law attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. If you call me, mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner

Re: one parent moving out of state

The Court's permission to move out of state is needed only when one is moving out of state with children and their other parent objects to same.

Call me if you like.
