It's All About Money - How to Choose a Divorce Lawyer
- Q. How to relinquish parental rights and not pay child support?

- Q. If you have a 30 year old restraining order can you adopt a grandchild
- A: It would be irresponsible for any family law attorney to give you a suggested answer to your question without a whole lot more information, especially since you said that you live in Florida and presumably the grandchildren live in New Jersey.
My suggestion is that you schedule a consultation with an experienced family law attorney in New Jersey (which can be handled by zoom).
In advance, you will need to send him / her the details of the children's setting (i.e. when they were placed in DCPP's control, your relationship with the biological parents, etc) and provide the attorney with a copy of the domestic violence complaint and the final order of protection so that the lawyer knows ...
