Do I Need a Child Support Lawyer?

Child support is a complex and hotly-contested issue here in New Jersey, which is why it’s so important that anyone looking to receive support reaches out to a competent Middlesex County, New Jersey family law attorney for assistance.

How Does Child Support Work in New Jersey?

There is a well-defined formula that determines the extent to which each parent will contribute to child support. However, there are other many factors that may come into play when deciding on child support, meaning that ultimately, a court will determine a child support agreement based on what it feels reflects the best interests of the child. Just some of the most important factors that courts will consider when determining a child support agreement are as follows:

  • Each parent’s income
  • Each parent’s ability to pay child support
  • The child’s age and health
  • Whether the child has any special needs
  • The child’s needs
  • The child custody agreement in place
  • The number of children living in a household

What Happens When One Parent Doesn’t Pay Child Support?

Violation of the child support agreement or contract is a major offense here in New Jersey. It is mandatory for both parents to fulfill all conditions of a child support contract. If a parent does not support the contract terms and conditions properly, the other parent has every right to seek full payment of child support through the court. Our firm has extensive experience enforcing child support agreements, and we are prepared to help ensure you and your family have the financial means to support yourselves after a divorce.

When Does Child Support End?

Typically, here in New Jersey, child support ends when a child reaches the age of emancipation or graduates high school, is capable of working and is not looking to receive higher education. That said, if a child wishes to go to college/higher education, has special needs, or one parent has high medical expenses for the child, it may warrant a continuation of child support past this point.
