Changed Circumstances in Child Custody and Support in New Jersey

Modification of Child Custody and Support

When it comes to children, one thing is certain – change. You may find custody and parenting time require change. A child may want change as he or she matures; a parent may engage in conduct detrimental to a child, such as drug or alcohol abuse. Changes in custody or parenting time will also require changes to child support. These and other issues never go away; you will need the assistance of an experienced attorney to walk you through to the correct result.

Relocation

Moving out of New Jersey with your children requires consent of the remaining party or a court order. Consent is often withheld, leaving you a court battle. Who is the primary custodian? Does one parent have physical custody most of the time, or do the parents split custody on a relatively even basis? Will relocation be detrimental to the parenting time of the nonrelocating party? What legal standard should apply? Will you require an expert evaluation? These issues are complex and emotional and require experienced legal guidance.
