Relocation of Children Lawyer Also Serving NJ 

If you have primary custody of your child after you and your spouse have been divorced, there are important laws put in place to protect both parents and children that you must follow.  If either parent is planning to move with the child during separation or divorce, that parent must adhere to the New Jersey statute covering relocation of children-- N.J.S. 9:2-2:

§ 9:2-2.  Custody of children of divorced or separated parents within jurisdiction of Superior Court; removal from jurisdiction; consent; security 

   When the Superior Court has jurisdiction over the custody and maintenance of the minor children of parents divorced, separated or living separate, and such children are natives of this State, or have resided five years within its limits, they shall not be removed out of its jurisdiction against their own consent, if of suitable age to signify the same, nor while under that age without the consent of both parents, unless the court, upon cause shown, shall otherwise order. The court, upon application of any person in behalf of such minors, may require such security and issue such writs and processes as shall be deemed proper to effect the purposes of this section.

If either parent is considering moving the primary residence of the child, it is very important to consult with a NJ relocation of children lawyer to ensure that the proper channels are followed.  If you decide to move without obtaining the proper agreement, you could be held in contempt of court or risk losing your custody status, depending upon your circumstances.
