Achieving Your Child Custody and Visitation Goals

In both New Jersey and New York, courts make their child custody and visitation or parenting time decisions based on the "best interests of the child". This usually means that both parents share joint legal custody for decisions involving such things as education, health care, and religion. The child lives with the custodial parent, while the non-custodial parent is granted reasonable visitation rights. If the court is presented with compelling evidence that is persuasively argued, it can order other arrangements.

Laurence H. Olive has extensive experience in all aspects of child custody law, and will work to achieve your child custody or visitation goals. In most cases, he will use his experience to negotiate mutually acceptable and workable child custody and visitation arrangements. Other cases can be more contentious, however, and Laurence H. Olive will conduct assertive litigation with the aim of achieving your desired goals. The firm can also represent you after the divorce, to obtain modifications in child custody or parenting plans.
