Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Separation and filing for Custody

I have seen what the other attorneys have written.

Now, let us talk about your best option. You are dating a married man with a wife and kids who is living with his wife. What is your best option?

Re: Separation and filing for Custody

I would want him to do whatever is best for the children. He has to realize that as the guy, he has an uphill battle to get custody (residential). I would say that staying there, in their lives full time would be best. If he moves out, it will be too easy for the Judge to keep the status quo. If he trusts his lawyer, than I wouldn't second guess him or her. If he doubts his lawyer's advice, then its time to get a new lawyer.

Re: Separation and filing for Custody

There is no one "best option". It all

depends on one's individual circumstances. If there hostilities in the household between him and his wife he should move out to avoid the consequences of a domestic violence

complaint, whether it is real or fake.

So far as his filing a divorce complaint it is a simple matter to call the county court house where he lives and inquire of the family part

whether there is a pending complaint for divorce in which he and his wife

are the parties.

Call me if you like.
