Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Relocation and Child Support
I filed a relocation motion and also a modification for child support. We were suppose to have a court last week, it has been rescheduled because the defendant has retained an attorney. I do not have one. I have a job waiting for me in the other state, I also have family there, and the cost of living is cheaper. I told the defendant I would pay for his airfare 2 a year and that his family can stay in my home when visiting. I have been remarried for 8 years and have 3 other children, I feel I would be doing what is best for all the children. Can I be granted permission to relocate or am I wasting my time? Also my child support is $300.00 monthly is my child entitled to more support.?

Re: Relocation and Child Support
There is no way to answer your question with the little information you provided. I also agree with the other attorneys; you will not have much luck without an attorney.
My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.
Re: Relocation and Child Support
The support issue is goverened by the court's guidelines so without financial info not possible to determine.
Since this is important to you, please retain a local attorney, the attorney will help you present the factors for the relocation that are important to the court.
Good luck to you.

You ;must demonstrate that you are moving out of practical necessity and not to deprive visitation. The arrangements you are offering seem to be consistent with wanting to enable visitation. You need an attorney if he has an attorney.
Call me if you like.

Re: Relocation and Child Support
I assume that what you have outlined is what has been presented to the Court. Certainly you have outlined good reasons; however, without seeing the response, it is impossible for anyone to determine whether you will be successful. And, any opinion you get on the internet is irrelevant; there is only one opinion that is relevant - and that is your Motion Judge, who will apparently be deciding the Motion shortly.
You, however, are really taking a huge risk by not having an attorney. You can have the best argument in the world. But I would be very surprised if you could present it as well as an experienced Family Law attorney could. And now you are going up against someone who has experience and whose only job at this point is to defeat your application. Why would you want to take those odds?
Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have
provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one
can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice
because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have not
already done so, you should immediately meet with an attorney for a full consultation before you
take any further steps. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
