Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Sole custody and relocating

I have sole legal and physical custody. I have a restraining order. He was in jail for violation of that. While in jail he signed a consent order suspending his visitation until further order of the court. He has been out for about a month. Recently he has started calling and harrassing me again. I want to move out of state. I know I have to get court's ok, but does he have to know where I am moving? I worry that he'll move there as well. We have been divorced for a year and a half, but separated for over 3 years and he still threatens any guy I talk to and threatens to kill me and any other guy if I get involved with someone. Does he have to know where I am going?

He seems to pose a substantial threat to you even now. You should report the recent threats to the police so that he can go back to jail where he belongs.

Re: Sole custody and relocating

You do need to file a relocation motion with the court. As part of the the Domestic Violenence Act, your address can remain confidential. I would also report all the violations to the police because he will be re-arrested.
