Child Custody Policies in NJ
When child custody is an issue, all parties involved will need to demonstrate why their claim for a particular custody arrangement benefits the child or children involved. The NJ Statute: 9:2-4 declares that it is the public policy of New Jersey to assure minor children of frequent and continuing contact with both parents after the parents have separated or dissolved their marriage. It is in the public interest to encourage parents to share the rights and responsibilities of child rearing in order to effect this policy.
In addition to child custody, we also handle related issues including:
- Child support and child support modifications
- Custody evaluations
- Grandparent custody, visitation and grandparent’s rights cases
- Interstate jurisdictional issues involving the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA).
- Marital settlement agreements
