Modifying Visitation
“She’s turning my own kids against me.”
That’s what one man from Rumson told me last week.
He and his ex-wife share custody — but the parenting schedule hasn’t felt “shared” in years.
The kids barely return his texts.
Pickup times get changed or canceled at the last minute.
And when he does see them, they act cold. Distant. Angry.
He asked me:
“Is there anything I can do?”
“Can visitation be changed — even after the divorce is final?”
If you’re dealing with a visitation schedule that’s no longer working…
If your ex is interfering with parenting time…
If your children are being turned against you…
You are not crazy — and you are not powerless.
New Jersey courts do allow parenting time and custody orders to be changed.
But here’s what most people don’t realize:
🚫 You don’t need a major emergency.
✅ You do need evidence that something important has changed.
✅ And you need a smart strategy to avoid wasting time or making things worse.
