Roxbury Twp. Bd. of Educ. v. West Milford Bd. of Educ

In Roxbury Twp. Bd. of Educ. v. West Milford Bd. of Educ., 283 N.J. Super. 505, 521-22, 662 A.2d 976 (App.Div.1995), certif. denied, 143 N.J. 325, 670 A.2d 1066 (1996), the dispute over the child's domicile did not involve the kind of joint physical custody arrangement we face in this case, 4 but rather arose out of one parent's move to a different municipality, along with a change of physical custody from one parent to the other. The Court upheld the Law Division holding "that the parents were perfectly capable of coming to an agreement as to J.K.'s physical custody without court approval," 283 N.J. Super. at 521, 662 A.2d 976, where the parents' decision as to the child's residence was "reasonable and based on good faith considerations." Id. at 522, 662 A.2d 976. The Law Division Judge found that the child's single domicile was with his mother in West Milford and ordered West Milford to pay the child's education costs. In Roxbury, the Court did not have occasion to pass upon the Administrative Law Judge's determination that for the balance of one school year, the districts where each parent then lived were to share the educational costs, or the Law Division Judge's disagreement "with the Administrative Law Judge's conclusion that a person can have more than one domicile." 283 N.J. Super. at 521, 662 A.2d 976.
