- Q. I live in NJ and my daughter (13 years old) and I want to move to California. Is she old enough to decide for herself?
- A: Thank you for your question. In NJ, a parent must obtain consent, from the other parent, or a Court Order to permanently remove a minor child outside of the state. In the event the matter proceeds to Court, a determination will be made as to what is in the child’s best interest. In review of the child’s best interest, the Court may consider the child’s preference, however, this is one of many factors that the Court will need to consider in determining whether the relocation can proceed. Based on your circumstances, it would be best to contact an experienced family law attorney to address your specific concerns.
- Q. I am in NJ. My ex doesn’t pay child support. If a lawyer filed a motion, can my ex Counter with request for more custody
- A: Thank you for the question. It sounds like you need to file a motion for enforcement with the court and to address arrears and obtain accurate income information. The court are operating and should be able to address the motion you file in normal course, whether virtually or in person. He will have the right to file a cross-motion seeking his own relief. If he files a cross-motion addressing a change in custody and/or parenting time he will need to demonstrate a prima facia change in circumstances as defined by New Jersey law, which would merit a revision of any existing court order regarding same. These determinations are very fact specific. If you have any questions, feel free to schedule a strategy session an attorney to discuss the details of your case and help you determine the best course of action.
- Q. I filed for a default hearing for my divorce
- A: Thank you for the question. Once you file for default, the court should schedule the matter for a Default Hearing. You will need to file a proposed Judgement of Divorce outlining your requested relief (ie: related to custody, parenting time, support and equitable distribution) with any supporting documentation, for the court to consider 20 days prior to the Default Hearing date. A copy of this document must be served on the other party, as well as the court 20 days prior to the hearing. If the other party is in default, but you have entered into a Marital Settlement Agreement with the other party resolving all the issues then let the court know immediately to help move the matter along. I suggest you remain diligent in following up on the matter in the event there is a backlog at the court so as to avoid any significant delay. If you need assistance in this matter feel free to schedule a strategy session with an attorney.
