New Jersey Child Support Calculations
Child support is calculated using the New Jersey Child Support Guidelines. These guidelines consider several factors, including each parent’s income, the number of children and parenting time arrangements. Additional expenses such as child care, medical costs and educational expenses may also be factored into the final calculation.
Knowing how child support is calculated can help parents anticipate their obligations and plan accordingly. If you have questions about how these guidelines apply to your unique situation, our attorneys can provide clarity.
Establishing Child Support Orders
Setting up a child support order involves several steps. Parents can either agree on a support amount or request a court determination based on the New Jersey Child Support Guidelines.
If an agreement is reached, a consent support agreement can be established without a court appearance. Otherwise, the Family Practice Division of the New Jersey Superior Court will review the case and issue a child support order.
A properly established order can provide financial stability for your child. Our family lawyers can assist in navigating this process while protecting your child’s best interests.
New Jersey Child Support Modifications
Child support orders are not permanent and may be modified under certain significant circumstances. If a parent experiences a substantial change in income, employment status or custody arrangements, they may request a modification. The court evaluates whether the change is substantial enough to warrant an adjustment.
Modifying child support requires proper documentation and legal procedures. The right lawyer can help you file a request and work to make certain your child’s financial needs continue to be met.
