Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
I am the parent of primary residence in NJ. Can I move out of the state with my children?

You should petition the court and notify the other parent of your intention so their visitation rights are not compromised.
This is the general rule. But there are variables that we should discuss.

You must request court approval to do this. Please call my office so that I can tell you what needs to be done.
My answer applies only if you live in New Jersey.
It is most likely that you will need your ex's agreement to moving (it would be smart to have it in writing) or you need to get the court's permission. I am not certain of this, but this is the most likely situation.
If you are required to have permission, and you do not get it, and you move with the child anyway, you can have serious problems. Serious. You could lose custody and parenting time with your child, or even maybe have kidnapping charges against you. Serious problems.
There is a lot at risk here, and you do not want to risk losing all of that.
You need a lawyer to sit down with you and give you some advice.
I can explain things in detail in person after we talk. I will explain what legal issues I see, and what I can do to assist you.
This will be a free consultation. After we talk, you can decide what you would like to do.
Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the telephone call and no charge for the first office visit.
