Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Can a toddler be taken out of state if wife leaves NJ?

As Mr. Moore said, the only two ways the child can go to Florida, is either consent or court order. If she just takes the child without either of those things, I would rush right into court. If they file a motion beforehand for "removal" then I suggest getting an attorney.

My initial consultations are always free, so feel free to call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss the case.

I have read what the other attorneys have said. As usual, Jef and Gary are right on target.

I would suggest that your son immediately find an experienced divorce attorney near him. He is obviously going to need some advice, and will need to know what his options are.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I will be happy to discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free.

The child can not be lawfully taken from the state on a permanent basis without either the consent of the noncustodial parent or a court order.

Call me if you like.
