Q: Divorced in Colorado, the divorce was modified slightly in New Jersey courts, when does child support end
The original colorado child support order stated: i had to pay until age 19, emancipated, or by further order of the court. Child is 21 now. the child support wording was not modified by New Jersey, but probation wont emancipate automatically
A: That is dependent upon the modifications that were made in New Jersey and if your order stipulates where the jurisdiction is. Speak to the attorney who represented you in Colorado and also consult a local attorney in New Jersey. Most attorneys provide a free consultation. Bring all orders and modifications with you so that the attorney can review it..
