Somerville Child Custody Lawyers

Comprehensive Service on New Jersey Parenting Issues in Divorce or Paternity

If you need legal advice about your rights or responsibilities as a parent, the Somerville child custody attorneys of Kovacs & Wilson can advise and represent you. We work with divorcing parents, unmarried parents, people whose divorces have been final for years, and even grandparents and other relatives who need to resolve issues of joint custody, visitation or parenting time arrangements.

Contact our office in Somerville to work with lawyers who can guide you past a crisis or threat to your own parent-child relationship. In divorce cases, we help people understand the ways New Jersey law encourages both parents to take responsibility for keeping both sets of parent-child bonds as strong as possible during and after the divorce.

While most disputes over custody and visitation can be settled through negotiation and agreement, we understand that some difficult cases will need to go to court for resolution. We can help parents on either side of visitation or custody disputes that involve legitimate questions as the fitness of one parent or the other. When that is the case, we are well prepared to fight those battles.

In addition to child custody and visitation issues in divorce, we also represent unmarried and formerly married parents who need advice about their rights and their children's welfare in a wide variety of circumstances:

  • Fathers' rights after a determination of paternity
  • Grandparent visitation rights and parent objections
  • Gay parent custody and visitation
  • Stepparent visitation
  • Modifying or enforcing parenting time arrangements after a substantial change of material circumstances
  • Disputes over such essential parental decisions as the child's education, religious training, medical treatment, therapy or counseling needs, or activities in sports, arts or academic enrichment
  • Proposals by the parent with primary physical custody to relocate with the child to another state or foreign country

Once you understand your legal position in practical terms, it may be very likely that a good resolution to your problem can be found through negotiation and compromise. If no good middle ground is available, however, our courtroom experience can ensure that your position can be presented clearly and persuasively at a contested hearing on the disputed issues.
