My ex husband just retired and no longer needs to pay into medical for our children. Will my child support go up due to this? What do I need to do?

Corolyn, One of the things which reduces child support is non-custodial parent's cost of providing health insurance coverage for the children.  So--yes--if ex husband will still have this coverage but does not need to pay anything for it, that should cause the amount of his child support to increase somewhat. Of course, that presumes that nothing else has changed (his income, your income, the amount of his overnight parenting time etc.) You say that right now his child support is $19 per week.  That seems very low, given that he has been a police officer.   I think that you should set up a meeting with a lawyer who has many years of legal experience and who devotes his or her entire practice to New Jersey Family Law matters.  At that meeting, you can go over your situation in detail with that attorney, get educated answers to your questions, and obtain expert guidance as to the best course of action. I have more than 35 years of legal experience and head a Morristown law firm which practices exclusively Familly Law.  Please feel free to take a look at our Firm Website (www.salvaggiolaw.com) for further information about my firm.
