Child Custody Attorneys in South Jersey
Custody disputes are emotionally charged and legally complex. When your relationship with your children is at stake, you want an attorney who knows how New Jersey custody law actually works in the county where your case is heard.
Two Types of Custody
New Jersey recognizes legal custody (the right to make major decisions about education, healthcare and religious upbringing) and physical custody, meaning where the child primarily lives. A court can award sole or joint custody of either type, and in most cases favors arrangements that keep both parents active in the child's life.
What Courts Consider
New Jersey family courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child. Factors include the child's age and needs, each parent's ability to provide a stable home, the relationship between the child and each parent, any history of domestic violence, and the child's own preference depending on age.
