Newark Out-of-State Child Custody Attorney
New Jersey Family Law Lawyer
Whenever a parent wants to relocate to another county in New Jersey, another state or another country, out-of-state child custody issues must be addressed and approved by the New Jersey Superior Court in the country having jurisdiction over the children at the time. Out-of-state child custody issues can be complex and requires a solid knowledge regarding jurisdictional issues. As an experienced Newark out-of-state child custody attorney, I am well-versed in interstate and out-of-state child custody issues. If you have an out-of-state child custody matter, please contact me at my Newark, New Jersey, law firm.
At The Law Office of Gwendolyn O. Austin, I provide compassionate and effective family law services. Whether you need assistance with your divorce or any other child custody/child visitation matter, I offer dedicated and experienced legal representation. For a free confidential consultation regarding your out-of-state child custody matter, call 866-646-9368.
Protecting Your Parental Rights
Especially in out-of-state custody matters, custody agreements can be modified. The most important concern that I have for my clients is protecting their parental rights as well as serving the best interests of the child. I will seek to make sure that your child custody agreement reflects this in the best way possible.
Out-of-state custody matters can involve:
- Relocations
- Move-aways
- Interstate custody disputes
- Uniformed Child Custody Jurisdiction Act
- Kidnapping
- Military divorce issues
In a New Jersey child custody case, New Jersey state family courts maintain jurisdiction. Subsequent to this, the New Jersey courts will continue to monitor the case and determine any post-judgment modification issues such as child relocation or move-aways. However, there are certain situations when jurisdiction can change. These circumstances include if the child has been moved out of state for an extended time, the state has not been involved in any of the proceedings or parents are out of the state and no issues have arisen out of New Jersey.
