Yes, all he needs to do is file a motion seeking parenting time.  Issues you should be prepared to discuss should include who pays for the transportation costs if the child goes to the other state and whether or not child support continues during extending parenting time such as holidays, school breaks, and vacations.

If you want to speak with an experienced attorney who is familiar with these areas of law, call us at 973-562-0100.  Our firm is concentrated in family law and estate planning case.
