Finding Harmony in Conflict: Leverage the Dynamics Connecting Mediation and Arbitration in Family Law

Motions for reconsideration are used in New Jersey under the right circumstances. A motion for reconsideration is a legal document filed after a court decision that allows parties to ask the judge to reconsider the outcome of a case. However, they cannot be used just because a party disagrees with the Judge’s decision. Motions for reconsideration can only be filed if there is a clear demonstration that the judge’s decision has fallen into a specified category of error. The grounds for which these motions can be filed and granted are very specific, and extremely narrow.  Learn more about which circumstances are applicable and rely on an experienced attorney at our firm for assistance with all of your family court needs, including a motion for reconsideration.

🚨The Crumbley Case and Parental Liability New Jersey State Bar Association🚨 The Crumbley Case and Parental Liability Friday, May 3rd 12:00-1:40 ☞ Robert (Bob) Bianchi, Esq. (Former Head Morris County Prosecutor) and Robert B. Hille, Esq. (Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Civil Trial Attorney) show how The Crumbley Case was a Landmark Decision in Parental Liability. The #Crumbley Case Outcome The tragic school shooting at Oxford High School in Michigan in December 2021 took a dramatic turn in February and March of 2024 with the convictions of Jennifer and James Crumbley, the parents of the teenage shooter, Ethan Crumbley. This case marks a significant precedent in holding parents legally responsible for their children's access to firearms and potential danger they pose. The Debate Continues Opponents of the Crumbley verdicts express concern that holding parents criminally responsible for their children's actions sets a dangerous precedent. They argue it's difficult to define the line between parental responsibility and criminal culpability. The Crumbley case has undoubtedly opened a new chapter in legal discussions surrounding parental liability. Whether this approach proves effective in deterring future school shootings and gun violence remains to be seen. Event #Agenda This will be a free-flowing discussion. The person named after each heading will lead that particular topic. Introduction – Lisa Chapland Overview of the topic. – Robert Bianchi ·     Includes the “Law and Crime” clip, putting the Crumbley case in context. ·     Discussion of the Michigan statute under which the Crumbleys were convicted. The Verdict – Robert Hille ·     How did involuntary manslaughter apply to the parents? ·     How is this different from holding the parents liable under vicarious liability? ·     What does the holding mean for possible criminal exposure to parents? Novel and unique theory holding the parents responsible for acts of their children. The Ramifications- Robert Bianchi ·     Has the case escalated our ability to go after parents by accusing them of using their children as instruments of a crime? ·     Will parents bear civil liability for their children’s transgressions? ·     Examples: Parents are aware child is a bad driver but let’s them use the car. If the child is in an accident, are the parents liable for a damage? Child has a history of acting out and hits a child or teacher in school. Are the parents liable? ·     Could parents weaponize liability under this new Crumbley theory in a family law dispute?
