Torchin Martel Orr LLC (TMO Law) is proud to announce that Partner Scott W. Orr, Esq. was recently published in New Jersey Family Lawyer, a professional legal journal that features articles written by attorneys and judges addressing developments, analysis, and practical issues in New Jersey family law.
His article, titled “The Lawyer’s Heartbreak: When You Just Have a Feeling the Custody Schedule May Not Work,” examines the professional and emotional challenges family law attorneys may encounter when a custody arrangement meets legal standards but may not fully serve a child’s developmental or emotional needs.
In the article, Scott explores how custody frameworks, while legally sound, may not always align with the lived realities of children adjusting to divorce. Drawing from both his professional experience and personal insight, he offers practical guidance to practitioners on identifying behavioral and collateral indicators and effectively presenting concerns within New Jersey’s statutory “best interests of the child” factors.
Scott’s publication reflects his ongoing commitment to thoughtful advocacy and advancing discussion within the New Jersey family law community.
You can read the full article in the February 2026 issue of New Jersey Family Lawyer.
