We are co-parenting in NYC and my child's father wants to move to NJ.

Q:  We have a custody hearing coming up in a few weeks. What should I expect in terms of custody agreement? He is moving 11 miles away from where I reside and where my son goes to school. He has him less time than I do, on average 5 days less every month.

Additional information

 

I am not consenting to the move. He is five years old. His father plans to drive him to school and back to NJ on his days/nights during the week.


A:  David's Answer:  It really depends - are you consenting to the move? How old is the child? If the child is school-age, what's the father's plan for getting the child to school (assuming he wants access time on weekdays)? You are best advised to schedule a consultation with a NYC Child Custody attorney for a full assessment.  -- David Bliven, Bronx Child Custody attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
