Child Custody & Parenting Plans
Child Custody
Armour Law helps clients like you get through the difficult issues of NJ child custody and child visitation. We provide our clients with knowledge, compassion and honesty to empower them.
NJ Child Custody has two forms, that is, joint or sole custody. Typically it is encouraged that parents have a joint custody arrangement wherever possible. The courts interpret joint custody to be in the best interest of the child. A joint custody arrangement may involve the child living solely with one parent or alternates with each parent, depending on the needs of the parents and child. In a joint custody arrangement parents will work with one another in making major decisions for a child with regards to medical and educational decisions.
Another type of NJ child custody arrangement is sole custody with one parent while allowing appropriate time to a non-custodial parent.
If custody is an issue, the court will consider the following factors in their determinations: Relationship of the child with his/her parents and siblings, each parent’s ability to communicate with each other and work together, each parent’s willingness to accept custody arrangements, history of a parent’s unwillingness to cooperate with a custody plan, fitness of each parent, geographical proximity of the parents’ homes, age and number of children, child’s preference, when the child is of a sufficient age and intelligence to make a decision (over age 12), history of domestic violence, stability of the home environment, and the needs of the child.
Armour Law will take the time to evaluate your specific issues and advise as to the strengths and weaknesses. We will provide guidance and tailored recommendations each step of the way to strengthen your case.
