my ex and I have joint custody of our children. During his parenting time my 13 yr old daughter called me crying and came to my work extremely upset.
Asked on Apr 14th, 2014 on Child Custody - New Jersey
More details to this question:
She told me she was afraid of going back there. I brought her home with me. It took him over 4 hours to notice she was even gone from the house. He called police to my house, where my daughter told them she didnt want to go back to his house. The police would not force her to go. My question is, can I get in trouble for keeping her with me even though she refuses to go back? The police asked me if I would allow her to go back if she wanted to and I said yes.

If your ex and you cannot come to an agreement as to what to do, you may need to have a Motion filed with the Court. In that event, I believe that you should meet as soon as possible with a very experienced lawyer who devotes his/her practice to New Jersey Divorce and Family Law matters.
Go over your situation in detail with the attorney, get educated answers to your questions, and obtain expert guidance as to the best course of action. In my opinion, it will be well worth the cost of the meeting.
