New Jersey Ruling Denies Custody To Nonbiological Partner
In Newark Superior Court Judge Philip B. Cumsus ruled that a nonbiological partner identified as V.C. cannot gain joint custody or visitation of her ex-partner’s 44-year-old twins. He equated her legal status to that of a step-parent, noting New Jersey law does not grant third parties automatic rights to a partner’s biological children. The decision follows similar but wavering rulings in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Utah, and comes after a New Mexico case awarded full custody to a nonbiological partner earlier this year.
