CHILD SUPPORT ATTORNEY IN NEWARK, NJ

Understanding Child Support in Newark, NJ

Child support orders require parents to provide financial support for the children they have brought into the world. When a parent lives outside the home, that parent — known as the non-custodial parent - pays child support to the custodial parent. Both parents are expected by the law to contribute financially to their child's well-being and upbringing.

Child Support Guidelines Are Just That: Guidelines

The state child support guidelines are pretty straightforward. Child support is calculated based on parents' respective incomes and the amount of time that a child spends with each parent (custody and parenting time). But other factors may be involved, such as when a child has special needs because of a medical condition or a learning disability requiring tutoring or therapy.

Modifying Child Support Due to Income Changes

You may have had a significant change in income because you were laid off or have become disabled, affecting your ability to pay child support or your need for increased support from the other parent. Or maybe your ex-spouse has received a significant promotion or raise.
