Our New Jersey custody statute has been amended to prioritize the safety of children and preferences of children in the context of custody disputes.

The safety of New Jersey children is no longer simply a factor, amongst others, for the court to consider. Now, “the safety of children is of paramount importance and is an integral element of the child’s best interest.” Similarly, the preferences of a child have now been afforded increased significance in the context of custody disputes.

Like our Eagles, we here at D&M care about our clients/fans, respect and appreciate our opponents, avoid penalties by playing by the rules, and appreciate that with talent comes responsibility. We win by coming together as a team and caring more about others than ourselves. Like our Birds, we truly care about each other and the importance of what we are blessed to do every day.

Davis & Mendelson (D&M) prides itself on being a “child-centered” law firm whenever providing legal representation for our education, family, and/or homeowners association clients. As we often tell parents when handling education law matters, the concerned student is our top priority; while the concerned student’s parents and/or grandparents may fund our legal representation, it is the student’s interests that guide the course and scope of our representation.
The legal requirements associated with educating special needs children, and/or other students needing protection from the actions and omissions of the school district entrusted with educating and socializing our children, remain our top priority. Similarly, in the context of representing clients for family law matters, the health, safety, and welfare of the children continues to be our primary goal. We are, accordingly, vocal proponents of the New Jersey Children’s Bill of Rights and have, hopefully, developed a reputation for “doing the right thing” whenever children are involved in a divorce, separation, and/or custody dispute.
Even in the context of representing property owners who have issues with their Associations, we here at D&M recognize that our client’s issues of and concerning their home, relationship with their neighbors, and relationship with the Association entrusted with maintaining the common elements and making same safe, also involve the welfare of the children residing within the Association. We are also proponents of mediation, arbitration, and collaborative divorce, for education, family, and/or homeowners association matters. These alternative dispute resolution methods all help the children, because they reduce conflict and help the parties cost-effectively resolve their differences, for the benefit of their children.
We are accordingly “all about the children” whenever we are called upon to provide legal representation for families throughout New Jersey for education, family, and/or homeowners association matters. If you agree with this approach, please consider calling one of our attorneys for a free telephone consultation to address our potential representation, for the benefit of both you and your child(ren).
