- Q. How should I say no, legally, to a grandparent wanting visitation when she’s her sons supervisor for his visitation?
- A: Thank you for your question. Generally, as you are the custodial parent, you can deny either set of grandparents their own separate visitation. However, generally, during the time you daughter is with you, you are free to have your parents present and when your daughter is with her father, her father has a right to have his parents present. Of course, there are exceptions. I suggest you consult with a Family Law attorney in order to more fully address the issue and make sure that your rights, and the rights all of your daughter, are protected.
- Q. In NJ, does child support automatically end when child reaches 18?. Do I have to file motion for it?.
- A: Thank you for your question. If your divorce agreement indicates that child support will end at 18 if no college or other school then it can. You should reach out to your probation department to let them know and they will send you forms to complete. It is not automatic at 18, since the law in New Jersey is 19. To help you understand your rights and options, I strongly urge you to schedule an attorney consultation.
- Q. Sons wife filed for divorce, finalized 10/29/2020. Unfortunately he 52 yo passed 3/2/21
- A: Thank you for your question. Based upon the information given, you do not have a particularly complicated fact pattern. However, you do have a series of legal issues that may or may not be complex. In this sort of scenario, the first document that needs to be analyzed is the party's judgment of divorce with settlement agreement if the parties had a PSA as opposed to having the court render a decision. Unfortunately, without analyzing that document, there is not much advice I can give other than retain an attorney who is an experienced family law attorney immediately.
