New Jersey questions and answers

• My son is 15 years old and wants to come live with me. How do I go about doing this?

  Asked in Toms River, NJ | January 6, 2026

  I live in SC, and my son, with permission from a NJ judge, lived with me for 7 years. His father then filed for custody, and they granted it to him and moved my son to NJ. My son is very unhappy, and it has been horrible for years. I did absolutely nothing wrong to have my son taken away. My son acts one way with me (his true self) and completely differently with his father (he has learned how to survive). I pay child support. My son wants to come home to his family and me, his grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. What are my options?
