Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 9:6-8, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 9:6-8.
The court may make an order of protection in assistance or as a condition of any other
order made under this act. The order of protection may set forth reasonable conditions of behavior to be observed
for a specified time by a person who is before the court and is a parent or guardian
responsible for the child's care or the spouse of the parent or guardian, or both. Such an order may require any such person: a. To stay away from the home, the other
spouse or the child; b. To permit a parent to visit the child at stated periods;
c. To abstain from offensive conduct against the child or against the other parent
or against any person to whom custody of the child is awarded; d. To give proper
attention to the care of the home; and e. To refrain from acts of commission or omission
that tend to make the home not a proper place for the child. The court may also award custody of the child, during the term of the order of protection
to either parent or to an appropriate relative; however, nothing in this section
shall be construed to give the court power to place or board out any child or to commit
a child to the custody of an institution or agency. In making orders of protection, the court shall so act as to insure that in the
care, protection, discipline and guardianship of the child, his religious faith shall
be preserved and protected.
