My ex constantly leaves my son alone at home for days, weeks without supervision. My ex has prevented me from visiting my son for my aloud visitation by court order for many years. What can i do to get my son ?
A: Assuming New Jersey has jurisdiction over your son then you should file in New Jersey for a change in custody. You can call me for a free consultation.

A: You will have to retain an attorney in Maine to handle this matter. The Court will consider your son's wishes based on his age. Good luck.
