Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Visitation
My x-boyfriend, whom I left due to emotional and physical abuse (which I could not prove successfully in Court), obtained visitation rights with our son, 3 years ago. During this time, he allows our son to do whatever he wishes putting him in harm's way; child makes descisions; does not feed him lunch/dinner, anything nutrional; tells our son to keep secrets from me; misleads him into believing father is a doctor (father illegally practices physical therapy); constantly buys him toys (you would not believe it); does not nurture him; and leads my son to believe I'm the mean one, etc. The father is requesting more visitation. I feel he doesn't make mature adult decisons which has put our son in harms' way; creates an unhealthy environment; no bounderies/guidelines; etc. What can I say to the Court to help my son?

You can only say the truth about your position. You may want to get an attorney to help you and speak for you, but other than that, there are no magic words that I can give you.
Re: Visitation
If you son's welfare is important to you you must hire an attorney because you will not know what you are doing in court.
