Visitation and Child Custody in New Jersey

In any divorce or legal separation, working out a visitation schedule or child custody matter with your spouse outside of court will usually be less costly and time consuming. It also may be less combative and emotionally easier on all concerned. If such visitation rights cannot be negotiated outside of court, then a judge will rule in court, handing down a decision that he deems appropriate given the particular circumstances involved.

Consulting a Jersey City divorce lawyer will ensure that you are fully represented and your rights and interests protected whether in private negotiations with your marital partner or publicly before a judge in a New Jersey court.  In working with the legal team at Artusa Law Firm, you will have the benefit of a Jersey City divorce attorney whose focus is family law, whose knowledge in these matters is extensive, and whose dedication is to obtain the best possible results available to his clients. Artusa Law Firm offers its outstanding family law services to prospective clients in Jersey City and throughout Northern New Jersey.

Visitation Rights in New Jersey

When one parent receives custody of a child, the other parent, called the non-custodial parent, receives visitation rights. The amount of visitation rights he or she receives varies from case to case, determined through many factors by the court. Visitation rights range from supervised court visits with children to sharing parental time equally. A non-custodial parent may seek specific visitation rights that allow him or her to spend time with their children. This may be disputed by the custodial parent, in which case the situation either needs to be negotiated between the parents or taken before the court. Having the benefit of a competent Jersey City divorce lawyer at your side throughout this situation will ensure that your side of the story is taken into consideration and that your rights and interests are effectively protected.
