Matters of Importance to the Court in Child Custody

When a child custody order is issued, there are various factors that are reviewed in making a decision, including the ability of the parents to cooperate in matters related to parenting, and the interaction of each child with regard to parents and other children in the family.

Additional factors that are considered include:

  • Whether there is any history of domestic violence
  • The safety of the child
  • The wishes of the child when old enough
  • The actual needs of the child
  • The stability of the home of each parent
  • The education and the fitness of each parent
  • The employment of each parent
  • The extent of the parenting time spent in caring for the children in the past

New Jersey's Prevention of Domestic Violence Act presumes that the child's best interests are served by awarding custody to the other parent if the other has a history of domestic violence. This is an important fact in seeking a modification, as if your children have been neglected or suffered emotional or physical abuse from the other parent who has custody or visitation rights, it is extremely important to get the order modified, as quickly as possible, and I can assist you to pursue this modification. All accusations of domestic violence, abuse or neglect must be supported by fact, and we should discuss this issue immediately.

    "Great job protecting my future"
    Ryan was a trusted adviser throughout the course of my legal issues. I was unfamiliar with legal proceedings and Ryan was able to explain to me my legal situation, and risks associated with various defenses and decisions I had to make. He took the time to explain all the scenarios to my satisfaction which gave me piece of mind and comfort. Ryan was also very responsive through various forms of communications (phone, email, text) which made keeping in contact convenient throughout the process. Ryan showed up on time (early in fact) to various appointments and appeared to handle relationship building effectively with opposing attorneys and the prosecutor. At the end of the day, I was very satisfied with the work done by Ryan as the outcome of my legal matter was better than I had expected and kept my reputation in tact, which undoubtedly will help me pursue my future career/professional ambitions.

    "Professionalism at its best"
    Mr. Gilbert has made my case easy and clear to understand without all the legal jargon. He took time to help me clearly understand my case and kept me updated with all occurrences. Also, the case had been postponed and he waited alongside and had a friendly chat at the nearby Starbucks and besides giving me a great case result, he made me feel as if I had someone by my side. Patient, honest, and soft spoken, Ryan is not someone else whom just told me what to do and I just say yes too, like previous attorneys I had. I will always suggest and use Ryan Gilbert as my attorney.
    - Former Client
    "Attentive, fast responding, professional, expert"
    Attentive, fast responding, professional and expert is how I would describe the attention and service that I received from Mr. Gilbert. He solved my matter quickly and explained in very clear terms each step and set expectation for action on all sides. I was very pleased with how my matter was resolved and would recommend Mr. Gilbert to those requiring legal services. If needed I would absolutely seek Mr. Gilbert's council again.
    - Former Client
    "An invaluable asset to anyone"
    Mr. Gilbert is an excellent attorney. His knowledge and experience make him an invaluable asset to anyone looking for an attorney.
    - Former Client
    "Ryan could not have been more helpful"
    I found myself in quite a situation and Ryan could not have been more helpful in my time of need. Ryan worked tirelessly and did whatever he could to secure for me the best possible outcome. Even when I first called, I never could have imagined having my case resolve as positively as it did. Thank you so much Ryan!
