I'm not sure. You should, however, contact your county probation department and ask to speak with the probation officer who handles child support judgments. Tell him what you know. If they can intercept it, he/she should be able to help you figure out how. If not, you can at least try for a... View More

There is virtually no way that your question can be adequately addressed in this forum, without reviewing the underlying facts and document in more detail.

You have a complicated set of facts and issues, including domestic violence and child custody. The short answer is that you can bring your facts to the courthouse and file for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against your husband, and the matter will be heard by a child support hearing officer...

So long as no new child support order has been issued, your son's father remains bout by the order currently in effect. That means that he should continue to pay child support based upon that order. That said, if he is pleading that he no longer has the ability to pay child support pursuant to... View More

You really need to have an immediate consultation with a qualified attorney specializing in family law. It looks like you need to file for divorce and contemporaneously file a motion for immediate relief, possession of your car, possibly a counsel fee advance, to address immediate parenting time...

My husband is not his biological father. The child has been in foster care since his mother's death. Why are they coming after my husband?
answered on May 24, 2017
Maybe they suspect that he is the child's biological father? Who knows. If he is not the father of the child, then the paternity test should put an end to the issue.
He and I were never married.
He has a criminal past which he hid details from me for a long time(Sex assault of a minor) and also does hard drugs. She has no relationship with him. He hasn't been on child support since she was about 2yo. My husband of 6 yrs wants to adopt her also. My... View More

You should seek a consultation with an attorney who has experience with contested adoption cases. The biological father has parental rights, although he has not exercised them. He will either have to waive his rights in the proceeding, or it was move forward as a contested proceeding. If contested,... View More
I haven't seen or heard from them in three years, but I will be paying child support for a 12, 16, and a 17 year old,. How can I get visitation for my kids when I pay support for my children?
answered on May 22, 2017
You will need to file a cross-application requesting parenting time. In your papers, you should try to address how to overcome the obstacles that your absence from the children's lives for three years will certainly bring to your ability to reconnect and effectively parent them. You should... View More

I strongly recommend that you schedule a consultation with a qualified attorney whose main practice is in the area of family law. You are right that your husband can make an argument that he is now clean to try to counter your concerns. What the Court will do with competing stories will be largely... View More

You are at least entitled to know, from him, where your child is when he is exercising parenting time. I believe that the first step in making sense out of the situation is trying to talk to him about the situation. If you cannot agree on a way that he will voluntarily keep you apprised of where...

Supervised parenting time is something that is sometimes requested and sometimes granted in family Court. His recent history of drug use and the young ages of the children are factors that would increase your chances of success with this type of an application. I can't tell from your question...

my daughter has lived in NJ for 4 years, she has 2 children, 6&8, she and husband own their home in Montclair. Needs to know the math formulas for determining alimony, child support or Family Support.
Thank You,
answered on May 8, 2017
There is no formula for spousal support. The statute asks family court judges to consider several factors, such as: the length of the marriage, the need of the dependent spouse, etc., to determine an amount of spousal support that is fit, reasonable, and just.
Child support is based on a... View More

You can represent yourself in family court for a custody matter. I'm not sure what you mean, "represent myself for joint custody." In any case, go to the family courthouse in your county. They will provide you with the documents that you will need to fill out to address the issue and... View More

I don't believe there is a bright line statute of limitations on filing a 4:50-1 application, as it would be based on the totality of the circumstances to achieve equity and justice. That said, your case is obviously extremely complex. I recommend that you bring all of your issues to a... View More

issues after the divorce the lawyers put house up to be sold it hasnt now he wants to know if we can buy her out ? even tho its in the divorce?
answered on Mar 24, 2017
You can only agree to buy her out if she will be willing to make that agreement with you. You would probably benefit from using a qualified family law attorney to help you try to settle this issue.
answered on Mar 23, 2017
Contact the bar association in the county in which you live, and ask if there are any low-cost or pro bono attorneys that will consider taking a case like yours. Another resource can be state law schools, who sometimes have law clinics to assist.
They both reside with their mother but one might come live with me. So wondering if they would cancel each other out if we both have one.
answered on Mar 21, 2017
It depends. Child support for children in college is supposed to be based on the child's reasonable needs. You also need to consider the interplay between college costs for the child and child support. Certain expenses overlap - for instance you generally pay room & board to a college and... View More
