Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Living arrangements with new girlfriend's children

You have presented a very difficult scenario that cannot be answered without also viewing the circumstances on the other side. All child-related issues are decided based on the best interests of the child(ren). The situation that you have painted, at best, would create very cramped quarters on those days when you and your girlfriend have all of the children. And, some Courts (and ex's) have concerns about non-married people living together. Nevertheless, once all of the facts are heard by the Judge a decision will be made in the children's best interest. If you want a better idea of how it may come out, you need to have a full consultation with a lawyer. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit ofinformation 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 an 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, [856-546-8010] mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
