If you and your child(ren)'s mother do not agree to a modification in the parenting time schedule, to seek relief through the court, you will need to file a motion.  In New Jersey, for a child custody arrangement to be modified by a judge, the moving party must prove that there has been a substantial change in circumstances.   You may find the following websites to be informative: http://www.weinbergerlawgroup.com/children-parenting/child-custody/visitation-modifications.aspx http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/prose/11492_fd_initial_appl_kit.pdf http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/prose/11487_fd_appl_mod_kit.pdf http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/prose/10483_post_jdg_kit.pdf To ensure that you file the appropriate motion and that your motion includes the details the judge will need to consider prior to making a determination and to improve your chances that a judge will find in your favor, consider consulting with an experienced family law attorney rather than representing yourself.  The attorneys at Weinberger Law Group are experienced in custody and parenting time matters and we offer a free initial consultation.  We are happy to discuss with you other options such as mediation and to navigate you through the process.  Call (877) 418-8515 today to schedule your free initial consultation.
