Resolving Your Child Custody Concerns
The presumption under New Jersey law is in favor of joint legal custody, where both parties have a say in parenting decisions. There is also an effort made to maximize the time that each parent has with their children, whether they have primary physical custody or not. In most cases, custody issues are resolved amicably through mediation, but we are available to represent parents in custody trials as well and have a reputation as effective litigators.
At Mullen Law, LLC, we work closely with parents to achieve a child custody arrangement that is in the best interests of the child. We have more than four decades of combined experience we can bring to your child custody matter. Due to our firm’s size, we are able to provide personalized and customized attention to each individual case.

Focusing On The Best Interests Of The Child
The most important consideration in any child custody case is what is in the best interests of the child. That is why our overloaded court systems are emphasizing the importance of resolving custody disputes in an efficient manner. The sooner stability is maintained in the home, the better it is for a child’s well-being. A long, drawn-out court battle can be stressful for a child. We encourage our clients to consider negotiation and mediation settlements in order to minimize both costs and time spent on a child custody dispute. That is not to say we don’t aggressively represent our clients at trial if the situation does arise.
We also recognize that the model family is no longer restricted to a nuclear family. There are many other roles that are “parental” in nature that can have a significant impact on a child’s life. This includes stepparents, relatives and grandparents.
Parental Alienation
More and more parents are accusing or being accused of parental alienation. Many times a noncustodial parent will accuse a custodial parent of systematic coercion and parental alienation. These are very extreme situations that can seem like brainwashing. We can help you if you are being accused of parental alienation or if you believe the other parent is engaging in parental alienation.
