What To Expect During a Child Support Battle

If you’re going through a divorce with children you should know what to expect during a child support battle. Call our New Jersey attorneys.

How Child Support is Calculated

• New Jersey has their own guidelines for child support calculations.
• If one of the parties makes over $3500 a week, the guidelines are not fully followed

Modifying Child Support

• You can request a modification of child support by reasons of sickness, unemployment, or educational reasons.

Waiving Child Support

• You can not waive child support, unless one parent chooses not to file for support.

Not Paying Court Ordered Child Support

• If you do not pay your child support, you will have a warrant placed out for your arrest and you can be kept in jail until fully paid.
• Your passport will be revoked if you stop paying child support.
• You can lose your driver’s license if you do not pay your court ordered child support.
