How do I prove that I have been the primary caregiver of my child?

In New Jersey, if a parent is trying to prove that they have been the primary caregiver of their child, they must prove that their relationship with their child is established and that they have been actively fulfilling their role as their child’s parent throughout the relationship. This means that the parent should be able to prove that they have been involved in their child’s day-to-day care, including providing financial support, arranging for transportation, being involved in their child’s schooling, providing emotional support, and being involved in important decisions related to their child’s life. The parent can prove their involvement by presenting financial records, school documents, medical records, and other records that demonstrate their involvement in their child’s life. Additionally, the parent should be able to provide testimony from other family members and friends that can attest to the parent’s role as the primary caregiver. It is also important to note that a parent’s involvement in child custody proceedings can also be used to support a claim for being the primary caregiver. In order to best demonstrate that you have been the primary caregiver of your child, it is important to collect all necessary documents and ensure that you have a strong witness list who can attest to your caregiving role. Collecting as much evidence as possible to support your claim is key to a successful outcome.
