The start of the new year means the start of a new living situation for many married couples. January seems to have been labeled as divorce month and New Jersey couples who have made that difficult decision may find it easier to move through the process with the help of divorce mediation. But, why is it that January seems to be the month when divorce filings spike?
Not every New Jersey child custody ruling can be appealed
When New Jersey parents go to court to resolve child-related issues, either in divorce or as single parents, it sometimes happens that a judge overseeing a particular case hands down a ruling that a parent believes is unjust. In some situations, a concerned parent may file an appeal. In other circumstances, however, filing an appeal in a child custody case would not be possible.
Parenting plan may make tackling child custody easier
It's a new year, so naturally, you're ready for a new you -- one without your current spouse. However, as you contemplate filing for divorce, you worry about how the marital breakup will impact your children. And you wonder how you can address child custody in the least hostile manner possible.
