The best way is for an adult to retain counsel on behalf of the child. It will not be a straight forward proceeding and a review of all documents by the attorney will be necessary. It is too complex to try to answer in this forum. Good luck.

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
