    Elevate your practice and master the Uniform Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) in New Jersey. This program delivers a clear roadmap for handling interstate custody disputes: from establishing home-state jurisdiction to navigating significant-connection claims, inconvenient-forum arguments, emergency orders, and modification challenges. Practitioners will gain practical strategies for managing simultaneous proceedings, military relocations, and international complications, along with insights into domestic-violence considerations and unjustifiable-conduct pitfalls. Don’t miss out on the chance to hear real-world case studies and candid lessons learned from experienced panelists, offering you the kind of practical guidance that can only come from the trenches.
