How to Win a Child Relocation Case in NJ?
As with other decisions related to children in family law, the court uses “the best interests of the child” as the criteria for relocation judgments. While this is a worthy goal to strive for, it does mean decisions are rarely simple.
In the best interests of the child, the court will consider factors related to the child’s safety, such as whether there’s a history of domestic violence with either parent, the stability of the home environment, and the fitness of the parents. However, there are some factors that are important but less straightforward in terms of coming to a decision.
Other factors in the “best interests” decision include:
- How well the parents cooperate
- The quality of the relationship the parents have with the child and with any siblings
- The demands of the custodial parent’s job
- The quality of the child’s education and how it will change with a potential move
- The child’s preferences

Relocating? We Can Help Protect Your Family's Interests
Even if your child custody settlement was originally agreed to on amicable terms, things can change. If a shift in career path means one spouse would like to move out of state, or if relationships deteriorate and one spouse wants to move away with the children after a divorce, there are legal processes that may facilitate—or prevent—this from happening.
If you believe moving out of state would allow you to make a better income to support your children or otherwise improve your relationship, our Somerset County relocation attorneys can help you make that case in family court. Alternatively, if you believe the custodial parent of your child moving out of state would not be in the child's best interests, we can make your reasons known to the court.

“I have personally worked with Eric Lane on numerous occasions for transaction insight and due diligence purposes while reviewing new opportunities for my business. His service was always extremely professional, helpful and prompt. Eric was able to give me valuable knowledge while helping to negotiate leases for new potential locations, as well as finding out information about the local township and regulations that would affect my business decisions; making me aware of things I wasn't and helping me to better understand things that I wasn't very familiar with. Whether a new business starting out or an established company looking to grow, I would highly recommend his services. I look forward to continuing to seek Eric's opinion and professional services in the future.”- Michael L.

“Met with Dan on a project. I also had discussions with one of the largest firms in the state and after both meetings, what I recognized is that the larger firms just take cookie-cutter documents and don’t take the time to listen to a client's needs. Dan took the time to educate me on what the project required and how to complete it. He listened and educated, versus the other firm just asking what do you need (note I had no idea where to begin on the document) and then talking at you like a number. I highly recommend Dan.”- David M.
