Understanding Child Custody Laws in NJ
In child custody cases, either the parents will be granted shared custody or one parent will have primary custody. If you are unable to make a decision between the two of you, the court will make one for you. Although the court makes the final decision, proposing a custody and visitation plan (parenting plan) allows you to have the chance to express your desires and what you think is best for your child. Then the court will put forth an order in regards to both legal and physical custody.
New Jersey courts consider numerous factors when determining child custody, but they mainly focus on the child’s best interests. If the parents are seeking joint custody, the court will examine their ability to agree, communicate, and cooperate with regards to the child. Any history of domestic violence will factor heavily in any custody or visitation decision.
A few additional factors which the court may consider include:
- Health and healthcare needs of the child
- Age and preferences of the child
- Relationship between the parents and child
- The needs of the child to further his or her best interests
