LEONIA NEW JERSEY BERGEN COUNTY DIVORCE LAWYER CHILD CUSTODY
In this acrimonious New Jersey divorce case, the father made various post-judgment requests : (1) a plenary hearing to resolve problems of custody and parenting time for the parties' 10-year old son; (2) appointment of a guardian ad litem; (3) appointment of a psychologist to perform a "best interests" evaluation; (4) the ordering of further protective measures for the child pursuant to the court's "parens patriae" jurisdiction; and (5) an order requiring the mother to submit to a psychological evaluation. But the New Jersey divorce judge correctly denied all these applications. The court's prior 2005 order incorporating the recommendations of the court-appointed psychologist properly protected the child's best interests. Tornillo v. Riddle, New Jersey App. Div., September 26, 2007
