Asked on May 11th, 2015 on Child Support - New Jersey
More details to this question:
Florida. I have been paying court ordered support for 17 years. She contributes nothing towards their college except for sending some of my child support she receives to them for spending money. I have cosigned and am responsible for all of their student loans as well as their apartment. I offered to pay the rent for them until they graduate if she would agree to no longer accept child support. I would still be paying the same amount. I just don't want them to have to take out additional loans. Should I file a motion in court or am I wasting my time as they are done with college in 2 years. What makes me question is that I am making twice what I was at the time of the first order and I don't want to end up paying more. Any suggestions?

No good lawyer will be comfortable making any concrete suggestions to you, with first getting a lot more facts from you. However, I would be happy to have a very brief telephone call with you, to get a few more facts. What you tell me remains confidential and there is no charge for the call.
Your question does not specify the county in which the child support order was entered--which is presumably where any motion would need to be filed. My firm's offices are located in Morristown, NJ (Morris County). We handle cases in all of the counties in northern and central New Jersey, including not only Morris County but also Somerset, Hunterdon, Sussex, Warren, Passaic, Bergen, Hudson, Middlesex and Monmouth counties.
If your matter would be heard in one of those counties, and you want to schedule a brief, confidential telephone call with me, please call my office (973-455-1220) and speak to the firm’s Client Intake Coordinator Dara Vanderhoof. She will be able to arrange a mutually convenient date and time for the call.
