New Jersey

Fathers rights in New Jersey are protected by the laws of the state. These laws cover paternity, custody and child support.

Paternity: You have the right to determine the paternity of any child you believe might be yours. Tests will be ordered by the court. If your paternity is established, you will have the right to involvement in all key decisions regarding the child, including those surrounding possible adoption.

Custody: You have the right to pursue custody of your children. Custody might be established as joint or sole physical custody, or legal custody that protects your legal rights to ongoing, regular visitation with your children. Custody also protects your right to be involved in decisions about their religious upbringing, education, activities such as music or sports, medical care if required and much more.

Child Support: New Jersey fathers rights allow you to seek child support from the childrens mother. The court will order a financial evaluation to determine if child support is appropriate and how much the support should be. Many New Jersey fathers receive child support for kids they have sole or joint custody of.
