Low-Stress
Skip out on the courtroom drama.
Child custody is one of the most stressful issues frequently argued in divorce cases or family law disputes.
Whether you are getting a divorce from your spouse or you share children out of marriage, our New Jersey custody attorneys at Netsquire can help you protect your relationship with your children.
Our lawyers know it can be challenging to agree on who will care for your children and where they will live.
Our goal is to help you establish a thorough parenting plan which meets your family’s needs.
The field of law encompassing child custody also extends to several interconnected domains within family law. Accomplished family law attorneys possess extensive experience in advocating for clients facing many responsibilities.
For instance, it’s common to find yourself amidst a divorce process where intricate matters such as alimony, child custody, child support, and establishing a parenting schedule all intertwine. These skilled attorneys navigate these interrelated issues, ensuring that your rights and obligations are comprehensively addressed during this challenging time.
In child custody cases, either parent will be granted shared custody, or one parent will have primary custody.
If you cannot decide between the two of you, the court will make one for you.
Although NJ courts make the final decision, proposing a custody and visitation plan (parenting plan) allows you to have the chance to express your desires and what you think is best for your children.
Then the court will put forth an order regarding both legal and physical custody.
New Jersey courts consider numerous factors when determining child custody, but they mainly focus on the child’s best interests. If the parents seek joint custody, the NJ courts will examine their ability to agree, communicate, and cooperate with the children.
Any history of domestic violence will factor heavily in any custody or visitation decision.
A few additional factors which the court may consider include:
In New Jersey, the legally recognized age at which a child can independently voice their preference regarding visitation is 18 years old. This threshold aligns with New Jersey’s definition of adulthood, firmly establishing 18 as the age at which individuals attain full legal autonomy. Consequently, once a child reaches this age, they are empowered to make decisions about their living arrangements without necessitating a court-mediated process, allowing them to choose their custodial parent.
Crafting a comprehensive and workable parenting plan is critical to child custody cases in New Jersey. A well-structured plan ensures the child’s best interests are prioritized and helps parents navigate their responsibilities effectively.
In New Jersey, family courts encourage parents to collaboratively create a parenting plan that addresses various aspects, including physical and legal custody, visitation schedules, decision-making authority, and communication methods. This plan should be tailored to the unique needs of the child and the family. Courts emphasize the importance of flexibility and cooperation to adapt the strategy as circumstances change over time.
By seeking guidance from compassionate family law attorneys, parents can create a parenting plan that aligns with legal requirements and reflects the family’s dynamics, promoting a stable and nurturing environment for the child’s growth and development.
Navigating child custody matters in New Jersey requires a thorough understanding of legal processes and a steadfast commitment to the child’s well-being. From determining the type of custody that suits the child’s best interests to crafting effective parenting plans, the journey can be complex.
