To speak to an experienced family law attorney about issues of child support, child custody, or visitation, please contact Borrus, Goldin, Foley, Vignuolo, Hyman & Stahl in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Custody and VisitationIn New Jersey, joint legal custody is assumed to be in the best interests of the child. This arrangement gives both parents equal say in making important decisions about the child's upbringing, including matters such as education, health care, and religion. Typically, one parent—usually the mother—is awarded physical custody of the child while the other—usually the father—is given liberal visitation rights. Father's visitation rights are usually Wednesday evenings and every other weekend. Custody law in New Jersey favors the biological parents, even in cases where a child is born out of wedlock. Child SupportBoth parents are expected to contribute to the emotional and financial support of their children. While child support is set by a formula, our attorneys understand how adjustments may be made, and will work to ensure that the amount of child support you pay or receive is fair. Modification If you experience a significant change of circumstances, such as the loss of a job or a move, our attorneys can request a modification of court ordered visitation, custody, or child support orders. Please contact us as soon as possible to discuss the legal restrictions that may apply to your situation. |
