A: You should retain an experienced matrimonial attorney and file in Burlington County. Pick the best lawyer you can find and remember one rule: a good lawyer is generally never cheap, and a cheap lawyer is generally never good so don't choose based on price.
A:
Thank you for your question.
It appears that more information is needed before I can provide additional advice. If there was a prior court order in Burlington containing the same parties and children, then the custody application filed in Salem should have been filed in Burlington. I highly suggest that you meet with a family law attorney who can further evaluation your situation and give more advice as to how to proceed.
I hope this information was helpful to you.
