Types of Custody in New Jersey
New Jersey recognizes two types of custody:
- Legal custody – the right to make major decisions about your childs education, healthcare, and religious upbringing
- Physical custody – where the child primarily lives and spends their time
Courts can award sole or joint custody of either type. In most cases, New Jersey courts favor arrangements that allow both parents to remain active in the childs life.
What Courts Consider
New Jersey family courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child. Factors include the childs age and needs, each parents ability to provide a stable home, the relationship between the child and each parent, history of domestic violence, and the childs own preferences depending on age.
