Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Visitation.
I am currently in the early stages of divorce. My two boys go to my in-laws almost daily. I know when the divorce is final I will be caught in the middle of visitation between my wife and in-laws. She will drop them off there and I will have no say. They have been going there for years and I have had no say. My father-in-law as a record with at least two guilty offenses against him. Can I say I do not want my children going there after my wife and I divorce.

Re: Visitation.
Visiting family and having family babysit the children every day are two different things. Your time is your time, no one else's time. You need to bring this up to the Judge when you hammer out visitation. Hopefully you have a good attorney for your divorce but since you are asking this question, I guess you do not. Give me a call at 732/247/3340 and we can discuss your case. My initial consultations are always free.
Re: Visitation.
I believe that you have a parental obligation to tell the Court that you are concerned of the influence of your
father-in-law upon your children.
You have to present facts supporting your opinion about your father-in-law in an orderly, substantial manner. When, for what and where was he convicted and where is your proof of same? What alarming conduct has your father-in-law engaged in and who are the witnesses to same? Where are the police reports which relate to your father-in-law's misconduct? What comments have your children made about your father-in-laws conduct?
