There is nothing more important than the welfare of children. When New Jersey parents decide to divorce one of the major issues on the table is child custody. The ideal situation would be that the parents agree to all the particulars regarding their children, but that's not always what happens. In any case, there are a number of earmarks family courts in the state use to determine child custody.

Adjusting to a custody and visitation plan can be a challenge for any New Jersey parent. But over time, it gets easier. The exchanges are more predictable; the acute negative feelings parents may have toward each other may subside; a child can settle into a new normal.
