Morris County Attorneys Handling Non-Divorce Family Matters in New Jersey
Family law is an area that encompasses many aspects of the judicial system. Non-dissolution matters (FD) are cases for individuals who have never been married or who have not yet filed a Complaint for Divorce. Even if a couple was never married, the court can still address many family situations.
These family issues can include:
- Custody
- Parenting time
- Paternity
- Medical coverage
- Emancipation
- Child Support
In New Jersey, there is a mandatory screening process to determine which methods of dispute resolution should be attempted before the matter can be brought to a judge. Often, these cases are handled in mediation sessions called “consent conferences” that are run by trained court staff. Unlike normal mediation, a consent conference is not confidential and not voluntary.
