Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Visitation

I usually agree with Mr. Moore, as I do now. A mediation type situation may be better than going to court. There is no set age as to when it become their call, but 14 is a good starting point.

If you do need the assitance of an attorney, I have an office in Toms River. My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your addtional questions or concerns.

Re: Visitation

It sounds as if the four of you should enter counseling to resolve the problem. So far as abusive behavior is concerned it can also be addressed in a motion to the Court.

Call me if you like.

Re: Visitation

There is no specific age when a Court will absolutely honor the wishes of the child. Your children are within the range, however, where the Court will consider their wishes. In the final analysis, the Court will make a decision that it believes is in their best interest.

Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, you may want to contact a Family Law attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. If you call me, mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
