Child Custody Modifications

New Jersey permits post-divorce modifications because one or both parents’ lifestyles and circumstances may change dramatically in the years following a divorce. When you are considering filing for a post-divorce child custody modification, it is most important to consider what is in the best interest of the child. New Jersey also permits modifications of child custody and visitation orders when the parents aren’t married if there is a change of circumstances. Our Middlesex and Monmouth County child custody modification lawyers can help you pursue or defend against a modification.

• Which home environment is most safe for my child?
• Who will provide my child with more nurturing parental care?
• How have I and my ex-spouse or the other parent been involved in our child’s life since the divorce or separation?
• Has my child expressed that they are unhappy or feel scared living with my ex-spouse or the other parent?
• Has my child expressed interest in living with me over my ex-spouse or the other parent?
• Is one parent not cooperating with the visitation agreement
• What is the age of the child?
• Did a parent die? If so, how does that affect who will take care of the child?

Parents may decide a child custody modification is in order due to any number of circumstances, which may include: substance abuse, child abuse or neglect, parental relocation, or health problems – among many other issues. If the parents agree a custody modification is needed, they can work together to make the changes, but if this is not the case, the parent requesting modification will need a knowledgeable child custody modification lawyer in Middlesex or Monmouth County to assist.
