Sometimes during a divorce, parents come to a peaceful agreement over the custody of their child. But most of the time, there is a thorny battle that requires the court to determine who will get custody and how visitation rights will be enforced. While state laws vary across the country, a court will generally consider very specific things that you need to know in order to help your clients. Susan Reach Winters, an expert in divorce, custody and visitation, and child support, will guide you through the key factors that New Jersey judges use to determine what a court will look at when determining a custody award in New Jersey.
Topics include:
- Child Support Guidelines
- Needs of the children
- Ability to pay
- Standard of living
