Child Custody and Visitation Attorneys In Piscataway, NJ

For most parents before, during or after a divorce, the future of their child is an extraordinary priority. Child custody determines which parent will have more or less decision-making authority for the child. New Jersey recognizes two types of custody — residential and legal. Residential and legal custody may be granted exclusively to one parent (sole custody) or divided in some other way (joint or split custody). Many parents also face the uncertainty about the financial obligations and resources they will have to raise their child. If you have children, ensuring that they are as well-supported as possible, both financially and emotionally, is your top priority. Therefore, It is also extremely important that a child support settlement is reached that will both protect your children’s needs and your own ability to support yourself. Reaching a settlement can be accomplished through negotiations, mediation or an application to the Court. When you retain our firm, we help you understand child custody-related issues as well as child support settlements.
