Although recreational marijuana is legal in New Jersey, warring parents may still raise a parties' cannabis use in divorce/custody/parenting time proceedings.
Should courts take away custody or parenting time if a parent is a frequent marijuana user? What level of impairment would be needed for courts to restrict a parent's access to their child? Is smoking a single joint or popping a gummy the same as having a drink? Should family courts treat a parent who occasionally uses marijuana differently from a parent who has the occasional drink? Does it make a difference if the parent is a medical marijuana user?
Our informative evening webinar explores the many issues raised by the legalization of marijuana in New Jersey.
