New Jersey § 2a:34-73

§ 2a:34-73.

a. Unless a party seeks an exception to disclosure of information as provided by subsection

e. of this section, each party, in its first pleading or in an attached affidavit,

shall give information, if reasonably ascertainable, under oath as to the child's

present address, the places where the child has lived during the last five years,

and the names and present addresses of the persons with whom the child has lived during

that period. The pleading or affidavit shall state whether the party: (1) has participated, as a party or witness or in any other capacity, in any other

proceeding concerning the custody of or visitation with the child and, if so, identify

the court, the case number of the proceeding, and the date of the child custody determination,

if any; (2) knows of any proceeding that could affect the current proceeding, including proceedings

for enforcement and proceedings relating to domestic violence, protective orders,

termination of parental rights and adoptions and, if so, identify the court and the

case number and the nature of the proceeding; and (3) knows the names and addresses of any person not a party to the proceeding who

has physical custody of the child or claims rights of legal custody or physical custody

of, or visitation with, the child and, if so, the names and addresses of those persons. b. If the information required by subsection a. of this section is not furnished,

the court, upon its own motion or that of a party, may stay the proceeding until the

information is furnished. c. If the declaration as to any of the items described in subsection a. of this section

is in the affirmative, the declarant shall give additional information under oath

as required by the court. The court may examine the parties under oath as to details of the information furnished

and other matters pertinent to the court's jurisdiction and the disposition of the

case. d. Each party has a continuing duty to inform the court of any proceeding in this

or any other state that could affect the current proceeding. e. If a party alleges in an affidavit or a pleading under oath that the health, safety,

or liberty of a party or child would be put at risk by the disclosure of identifying

information, that information shall be sealed and not disclosed to the other party

or the public unless the court orders the disclosure to be made after a hearing in

which the court takes into consideration the health, safety, or liberty of the party

or child and determines that the disclosure is in the interest of justice.
