How Child Custody Works in New Jersey

✔ Moms and Dads Considered Equally

New Jersey courts consider the rights of both parents equally when it comes to child custody, child support, and visitation.

✔ Physical vs. Legal Custody

Physical custody determines where the child lives and who cares for them. Legal custody determines the right to make major decisions regarding the child, such as their medical and educational needs.

✔ Sole vs. Joint Custody

In a sole custody arrangement, only one parent has legal custody. The child also lives with them and spends most of their time with them, although the non-custodial parent may have visitation rights. In a joint custody arrangement, the parents can share legal custody, physical custody, or both. 


New Jersey courts tend to favor legal and physical joint custody arrangements as long as they’re in the child’s best interests. If you believe an alternative arrangement is better for your child’s safety or well-being, Adam C. Brown is equipped to make that case on your behalf in court.

Mediation Can Get You to the Finish Line Faster Adam C. Brown Is a Skilled Mediator—Schedule a Free Consultation

A child custody case doesn’t have to be a battle between parents. In fact, getting dragged into a stressful dispute with your co-parent can take time and attention away from what matters most—the children you share. If you and your co-parent cannot agree on certain points of your custody arrangement, Adam Brown can help you explore an alternative path called mediation.

Mediation is a collaborative process where both parents and their attorneys sit down to talk in a private location of their choice, without the scrutiny of a judge. They can use this space to resolve family law matters related to child custody, child support, and visitation time in a calm and equitable way.

Parents who choose mediation usually get to their desired outcomes much sooner than parents who go through the courts. Put yourself—and your children—in the best possible position by exploring all the avenues available to you. Contact our New Brunswick family lawyer serving all of Middlesex County for a free consultation.

Mr Brown is a no nonsense real deal. He helped me win my child custody case. He gave great advice even beyond the hearing. He is very quick with response and even communicated with me while I was out of the country. He kept it very real from the beginning to the end. Being in the military with a hectic schedule he was able to understand and help creat a custody schedule beneficial to my family.
