Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Prevent Visitation Rights - Help!
What steps would need to be taken for an outside party to prevent child visitation rights to his father. Although the mother has agreed to the judge�s visitation rights, the father has various police records, lives in a dangerous, unclean and unsafe residence and has not provided child support or alimony in many months. By allowing over-night visitation rights, the child will be subjected to a dangerous, harmful environment, lack of parental supervision and forced to sleep on a floor.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

If you are trying to protect a child who is a relative (neice, grandchild etc.), then you will have some options that you will not if this is a friend or neighbor's child.
You really need to sit down with a divorce attorney (this is a divorce type problem).

The court rules do permit a third party to intervene in actions in court, but is not a frequently made
application and I can not predict whether your application to intervene wouldl be permitted by the Court.

The alimony and child support issue is only the business of the mother. As to the unsafe conditions, if they are as bad as you indicate you should contact DYFS.
