Dear Friends,
Happy summer! This summer has been hazy, hot, and humid! Here at KLG, we live for the summer season and appreciate the dream-like quality this season brings to everyone regardless of their age.
John Updike’s poem “June” shows the many dream-like sequences the summer season brings each year:
The sun is rich
And gladly pays
In golden hours,
Silver days,
And long green weeks
That never end.
School’s out. The time
Is ours to spend.
There’s Little League,
Hopscotch, the creek,
And, after supper,
Hide-and-seek.
The live-long light
Is like a dream,
and freckles come
Like flies to cream.
Below are two blog posts on employment and family law. The first post is called “Can I Be Fired Because I’m Overweight?” and the second is called “Will a NJ Trial Judge Allow our Child to Testify During a Child Custody and Parenting Time Hearing?”
Please let us know if we may be helpful to your friends, your family, or you. Our primary practice areas remain family law, employment law for workers or management, and general civil and criminal/municipal court advocacy. If you need a lawyer here or elsewhere in practice areas we do not handle, then we will make appropriate referrals for you, free of charge.
Happy summer dreaming,
Kingston Law Group

The New Jersey Rules of Court grant trial judges discretion whether to have children testify at a hearing on child custody and parenting time. If that takes place, it won’t be held in open court but rather as an interview in the judge’s chambers. The judge would need to feel the testimony is relevant, it’s in the child’s best interests, they’re mature and intelligent enough to testify truthfully, and understand what’s happening...
