Family Law
I Will Help You Protect Your Rights as a Parent
New Jersey laws regarding child custody are imperfect, but they are designed to ensure that the children's interests are protected. But it happens too often, particularly to men - a non-custodial mother will challenge the father for custody, or good fathers are denied meaningful parenting time by the custodial mother.
Child Custody Law is My Only Area of New Jersey Family Law Practice
I am child custody lawyer Gwendolyn Austin. I am not a typical divorce and family law attorney. I restrict my family law practice to protecting the rights of non-custodial and custodial parents in child custody disputes.
If you are a custodial parent, I can help you protect your rights in the event of a custody challenge by the non-custodial parent. If you are a non-custodial parent with limited visitation rights, I can help ensure that you receive fair, meaningful parenting time with your children.
I am ready to help with all New Jersey family law matters relating to child custody:
- Defense of your custodial rights
- Meaningful visitation and parenting time
- Child support issues
- Issues relating to termination of parental rights
- Paternity issues
"Whether you are a non-custodial or a custodial parent, you have a right and responsibility to form a relationship with your child. That means more than just sitting with your child in a room for an hour. I can help you fight for meaningful parenting time that will help you develop a life-long relationship." - Attorney Gwendolyn Austin
