N.J. Stat. § 9:2-4
custody statute
New Jersey custody law
New Jersey courts determine custody based on the best interests of the child and favor arrangements that provide frequent and continuing contact with both parents.
What New Jersey courts consider in custody decisions
New Jersey courts consider 14 statutory factors including the parents' ability to agree, communicate, and cooperate regarding the child, each parent's willingness to accept custody and any history of unwillingness to allow parenting time, the interaction and relationship of the child with parents and siblings, any history of domestic violence, the safety of the child and either parent from physical abuse, the preference of a child of sufficient age and capacity, the stability of the home environment, the quality and continuity of the child's education, the fitness of the parents, the geographic proximity of the parents' homes, and the extent and quality of time each parent spent with the child before and after separation.
How the custody process works in New Jersey
New Jersey custody cases are heard in the Family Division of Superior Court. Parents must complete the mandatory Parents' Education Program (PEP) within 90 days of filing. Contested custody and parenting time disputes are referred to court-appointed mediation, where a mediator meets with both parents without their attorneys present. If mediation fails, the court may order a custody evaluation by a mental health professional. Economic aspects of divorce proceed through a separate Early Settlement Panel process.
