Mother and Father are splitting up, a 2 yr. old is involved. A house is involved also.

I have seen your question.  My name is David Salvaggio.  I head a law firm that devotes its practice exclusively to New Jersey Divorce and Family Law matters.  It's all we do. Please feel free to take a look at our Firm Website (www.salvaggiolaw.net), which contains a lot of helpful information.  A good lawyer will need much more information before being able to give you intelligent answers to your questions.  Fro now, however, I can tell you that the mother should not simply move out of the house and take the child with her.  If she does that, she opens herself up to a claim by the father, not only that she unilaterally took the child, but also that she needs to contribute to the ongoing carrying costs for the house, in addition to the carrying costs for her new residence.  If you would like to schedule a brief personal phone call with me (at no charge), you can call our offices at any time of the day or night.  Our telephone number is 973-455-1220. Please leave a voice mail message if I am not available to speak with you when you call.
