      Mr. Freeman represented me in a child custody case during the beginning of difficult times of Covid. As a father, I was at first worried about what the outcome of the case Maybe. However, Mr. Freeman assured me he would get me my rights.

      Thanks to knowledgeable Mr. Freeman and his professional staff, I was granted my rights. Cindy & Mr. Freeman were able to answer all my questions without delay. Highly recommend!

      SAM BEAST

      I was fortunate to retain Brian to represent me in my divorce case. He was aggressive in court and fought hard for me to protect my relationship with my daughters. This was a bitter and nasty fight but he was more than up to the task. In the end I felt like I won the war.

      In my opinion he is a great lawyer and very compassionate, I would recommend to anyone who needs a divorce lawyer.

      CLIENT

      If you need a great family lawyer I recommend the freeman law center without hesitation. My life was a complete shambles because of the divorce I had to go through I didn’t know that i could feel so bad. The efforts that I received from Brian was outstanding and I can’t put in words how much I appreciated the way I was treated by his staff.

      Their slogan “Quality and Commitment” was not just words it was action.

      Child Custody FAQs

      New Jersey custody arrangements can include joint legal custody, sole legal custody, and residential custody, along with shared parenting arrangements and various divisions of parenting time based on what’s in the best interests of the child.

      Yes, if there has been a significant change in circumstances since the original order, a parent can petition the court for a modification of custody or parenting time arrangements.

      Grandparents may be able to seek visitation rights in certain circumstances under New Jersey law, though these cases require demonstrating that visitation is in the child’s best interests.

      Relocating a child out of state typically requires either the other parent’s consent or court approval, particularly when a custody matter is pending or an existing custody order is in place.

      A parent’s drug or alcohol use can significantly impact custody and parenting time determinations, as courts prioritize the child’s safety and wellbeing when evaluating each parent’s fitness.

      Emancipation generally occurs when a child reaches adulthood or becomes self-supporting, though the specific circumstances and timing can vary and may affect ongoing custody or support obligations.
