What to Do if You Are Denied Child Support Modifications in NJ Child support is a complex matter. The court takes several factors into consideration when determining an appropriate amount of child support. These details include the child’s financial needs, the income and financial resources of both parents, and the custody agreement. Whether you are the custodial parent or the paying parent, it is possible that you may disagree with the amount of child support awarded. However, once a child support order is in place, changing it can be a challenge. If you are the custodial parent and feel you are not receiving enough in child support, or if you are the paying parent and believe that your payments are too high, you must file a motion with the court to modify the child support agreement.

FAQs

Do I qualify for an uncontested divorce?

If you and your spouse are in agreement regarding the terms of your divorce, including child custody and support (if applicable), division of marital property or spousal support or if your spouse will not seek to contest the divorce once served, then your divorce will remain uncontested.

Neither I nor my spouse lives in the state of New York, am I eligible for a New York divorce?

If neither you nor your wife maintains a residence in New York, you will not be able to file a divorce in New York. This rule does not apply to military personnel or parties who have temporarily relocated.

My spouse refuses to sign his/her affidavits, what are my options?

In the event that your spouse refuses to cooperate with the divorce process or is unwilling to sign the proposed settlement agreement or divorce affidavits, we will need to have him or her served by a process server. This in effect will give the defendant (your spouse) notice of the proceeding and action for divorce. Once properly served, if the defendant (or their attorney) does not respond by filing a "Notice of Appearance" or an "Answer" with the Court, we may request that the Court enter a default Judgment of Divorce against the defendant.

Will my divorce be recognized in another country?

Yes. However, if you will be entering your Judgment of Divorce in a foreign jurisdiction please be aware that, in many instances, you may need to have the Judgment of Divorce authenticated by the U.S. Department of State that issues both Authentication Certificates and Apostilles. If you intend to present your Judgment of Divorce to a foreign jurisdiction, please be sure to discuss this with our legal team.

My child is under 21 but is financially independent and no longer resides at home, is Child Support required?

If your child is legally emancipated, that is, your child is financially independent, lives on his or her own and you do not claim this child on your tax return, you will not be able to seek support for this child even if he or she is under the age of 21.

Other questions that you might have are answered on the FAQ page of our website.
