My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: NJ
9 years ago, I called in DCP&P & alleged that my husband abused our 1 yr old child. Myself/child moved out of husband's house. Based on my statement, court determined that husband had abused child & I was given full legal/physical custody. To stay away from indefinite court processes, my husband chose not to take any visitation with child. Court also gave him 3 yr no contact and probation which he successfully completed 5 yrs ago. Court also told him that in case he needs visitation/custody, he can file petition & they may consider anger/parenting. I lived as single mom and husband also didn't marry and we never divorced.
I now realize that child is missing family & want to go back to husband. I am ok for my husband to get joint legal custody of child, if possible. Can me & my child go and start living with husband today or since he was the alleged perpetrator in the 9 yr old matter, I cannot go back to him? How can we get together (me, my child and husband)? How can he get child's custody?
