Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
I am in the process of a divorce. I am a resident of NJ, but moved here only because of marrying my husband; all my family is in NC. We have five son's, all of which refuse to spend time with their father due to his abusive ways while living at home. Two are of adult age, the other three are 14, 12 and 10. We have gone the theraputic mediator route with no success. Being that I have absolutely no family in NJ, and because of my soon to be ex's marital waste, we are going to be in a bit of a financial bind, even though he makes well above the NJ standard (IE., excessive mortagages, etc). The boys have absolutely NO relationship with him whatsoever, due to his actions. Do you think that the court will allow me to relocate with the children to NC?

Based on the facts you have given a Court would give preference to you with a parenting time schedule for their father.
We have a number of lawyers here who could assist you. Please call for an appointment if you are interested.

You have some serious issues that you need to get control of right now.
Yes, the chances are good that you can persuade the Court to let you relocate to North Carolina; no guarantee, but it seems reasonable.
You need a divorce lawyer. You have children with this person. Each child needs to be raised, in a decent apartment or house, needs to be fed, clothed, educated, sent to college maybe, and in general supported and loved. You can do the last part on your own (every kid deserves two loving supporting parents, though), but everything else takes MONEY! Money which we will attempt to get from the child's father.
You need advice from a lawyer. Be prepared to pay for the lawyer's time; it is how the lawyer pays for his/her own bills.
Call if you like; I never charge for a first phone call. You can then decide how you would like to proceed.
