Pine Beach Divorce Lawyer

Child Custody in Pine Beach

Divorce ChildIf you are seeking a divorce in Pine Beach, one of your most significant concerns may be the custody and care of your child.  Unlike other aspects of the law in New Jersey, custody determinations do not follow “bright line” rules.  That is to say, there is no formula in determining custody.  The court’s primary concern is the best interest of the child.  This is measured using a variety of factors, including the parents’ ability to agree on matters relating to their child, their willingness to share time with the child, and any history of domestic violence.
There are many types of custody arrangements.  The court will determine the appropriate arrangement after careful consideration of the circumstances of the parties.  It is important to note the differences between legal custody and physical custody.  Legal custody pertains to the ability of a parent to make important decisions in their child’s life, such as where the child should attend school, what type of activities the child should be involved in, and what kind of medical care the child should receive.  Physical custody, in contrast, pertains to where the child resides on a day-to-day basis.  A parent can have sole legal custody and joint physical custody, or vice versa.  Our attorneys at Villani & DeLuca can provide an overview of your custody options, and help you to decide the custody arrangement you should seek in the event of a divorce.

Getting Child Support in Pine Beach

Once the court determines the custody of your child, the amount of support you receive or are required to pay will be very important as you begin the process of moving forward in your life.  New Jersey courts use a formula to determine the support amount in each case.  The formula takes into account the number of overnights the child spends with each parent, so that a child spending equal time with both parents may require less support than a child who is with one parent the majority of the time.  Other considerations in a support determination include the age of the children, college or other post-secondary education expenses, as well as whether either parent has other legal dependents.
If you are seeking child support in Pine Beach, the attorneys at Villani & DeLuca can help you through the process of establishing a support order, which is the legal record of what the other parent is obligated to pay.  If it is necessary for you to go to court, your attorney will file a complaint and a hearing will be scheduled.  Both parents will appear before a judge or child support officer.  In order to obtain the correct amount of child support, it is important that all information you provide to the court is accurate and up-to-date.
