Child Custody

The dissolution of any marriage or partnership raises a plethora of issues. When children are involved, the resulting issues are even more complex as custody and child support issues come to the forefront. To ensure that a fair arrangement, based upon the children’s best interests, is reached, you should utilize the service of an experienced and knowledgeable family lawyer.

William J. Berman routinely handles child custody cases and can help to determine the best custody arrangement for you and your children. He will review the current custodial situation, identify the children’s preferences and explain how New Jersey state laws impact your specific case and family situation.  In the event a custody expert is necessary, Bill will guide you to the best expert for your case.  Considering these factors, Bill will work with you to devise a specific plan of custody for your children.

Child custody is dual faceted in that it encompasses both the physical and legal custody of the child. Physical custody is where the child resides while legal custody entails the decision making process for the parents including the right to decide education preferences, religious practices, medical treatments and activity involvement. All of these aspects must be considered during child custody proceedings.

Bill will work with you to achieve the best possible outcome while preserving your parental rights and protecting your children’s best interests.
