MORRISTOWN MORRIS COUNTY NEW JERSEY DIVORCE MEDIATION LAWYER

The New Jersey divorce judge issued rulings as to custody of the parties' son, parenting time, child support and counsel fees. In addition, the court imposed a $500 sanction against the father's possible future violation of the Orders in question. This was reversible error because such a sanction was premature and therefore arbitrary or punitive. If there are actual violations, then entry of sanctions might be appropriate at such time.       Sheinbaum v. Campbell, New Jersey App. Div., August 28, 2009
