In the state of New Jersey, if you and your spouse cannot agree on custody arrangements, the decision will ultimately be made by a judge.
A judge will carefully review the custody factors and evaluate what is in the best interest of your children. This process ensure that every decision is guided by fairness and focused on the well-being of your child.
It’s also important to know that you don’t need to worry about a spouse “kidnapping” the children or disappearing in the middle of the night. That would be considered a serious violation, and one of the worst actions they could take.
You are protected under New Jersey law. When custody becomes a contested matter, rest assured that the court will make the final decision to ensure your children’s safety and the best interests are prioritized.
