When Your Ex Won’t Let You See Your Child: Protecting Your Parenting Rights in New Jersey

It was your weekend. You showed up on time, and nobody answered the door -- again. When your ex keeps you from seeing your child or cuts off regular communication, New Jersey family courts take that seriously, because the law protects a child's relationship with both parents. You may need to take legal action to protect your parental rights and your child's best interests.

A formal custody order can establish clear parenting time and communication rights, making it enforceable by the court. If your ex is refusing to allow contact, this legal step may be necessary to ensure that your child can maintain a healthy relationship with you.

At Simon Law Group, LLC, our experienced family law attorneys understand how emotionally difficult these situations can be. We are here to help you protect your right to be an involved parent and to ensure that your child has the benefit of both parents in their life.
