NEW JERSEY VISITATION : WHO DRIVES?

The court affirms the New Jersey divorce judge's order requiring the mother to share the driving responsibilities necessary to effectuate the parenting time of the father. "It is an unfortunate reality that many divorced parents are unable to resolve amicably the tensions that invariably arise when children are involved. The dispute exemplified by the parties' positions here is typical of those faced daily by Family Part judges throughout the State. Those judges 'have developed a special expertise in dealing with family and family-type matters' " O'Donnell v. Singleton, etc., New Jersey App. Div.; ___ N.J. Super. ___ (App. Div. 2006); April 4, 2006
