NO! In NJ you can receive Primary Residential Custody with full decision making power. Your wife could be restricted to know visitation or supervised visitation. Plastering this most personal of all things across social media is deplorable to put it nicely. You need to retain counsel right away.... View More

No! A parent can't "just give up rights". If the Primary Residential Custodial parent gets married and that person's spouse adopts the child, then the child support obligation of the biological parent would end, but not otherwise. Good luck.

I suggest that you hire a lawyer that is familiar with CP&P procedures and policies. Once a judge has made an order it is rare that a judge will change this order without supporting case law and legal arguments. Sure a lawyer that handles these types of cases is not free and you can spend a... View More

Although a Judge cannot force her to work, he can impute income to her. You will need to have a consultation with a matrimonial attorney to see if it is cost effective to fight this. Good luck.

You may need to retain counsel to make certain that you have the correct support order in place or in the alternative that support is supposed to be payable through Probation via wage garnishment. At the very least, you should have an attorney review your existing legal pleadings. Good luck.
