Why Child Custody Is One of the Most Complex Decisions in a Divorce | NJ Divorce and Family Law Attorneys

Child custody is one of the most complex issues that matrimonial attorneys handle, and for many parents, choosing the right attorney for a custody case is one of the most important decisions they will ever make.

Custody isn’t determined simply by who has the nicer home or the greater financial resources. Instead, it involves a wide range of factors, including:

  • The health and well-being of the child
  • The physical and mental health of each parent
  • What arrangement is truly in the child’s best interest

Because of this, custody cases can require expert involvement. And when you hear the word “expert,” it often means additional costs. Unfortunately, if one spouse brings in an expert, the other spouse may also need one to ensure a fair evaluation.

In New Jersey, custody is a multi-faceted and highly nuanced issue. For that reason, it’s essential to work with a board-certified matrimonial attorney, someone with the training and experience to help you navigate the complexities and protect your child’s best interests.
