If you plan to fight for custody of your children, it is important to keep in mind what the courts are looking for when making their decisions. New Jersey family courts evaluate several factors when deciding which parent should take primary custody of the children.

Types of Child Custody

Courts prefer to arrange shared or joint custody rather than give sole custody. Courts operate under the belief that it is often in the best interests of the child to maintain a consistent relationship with both parents. You may have many options for joint and shared custody depending on your situation.

Sometimes, a child may alternate living with both parents, depending on the proximity between the parents' residences. In some shared custody situations, the parents may work together to make decisions about the child's health, education, religion, and more. In other scenarios, the court may decide the parents cannot work together and therefore require a court decision for sole custody. Sole custody means one parent will be the resident parent for the child, but the non-custodial parent will be given visitation rights.
