Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Seeking Physical Custody

my husband & i recently seperated. I left the situation for fear of myself & 4yr old child. I would like to know because I am not legally seperated it just happened 2 weeks ago with prior history of domestic violence verbally & physically. Im physically seeking custody asap after recently learning that ''he is using drugs'' in which he told me hisself. What are the next steps that i take to gain custody of my daughter..he has attempted to kill me & hisself which is documented by the police & the hospital in Pennsylvania. How do i get custody of her now so that he doesn't put her in any jeopardy. Please Help what do i do??

Re: Seeking Physical Custody

you need to file a petition requesting custody and limiting him to court supervised visitations (if he even shows up to the custody hearing). Please call for more info...free initial consultation.
