Q: My children & I live in Florida, my ex lives in NJ. Do I need to register my child support order in NJ?
I have a Florida child support order that says my ex is to pay $1200/month. However, he only pays around $400/month. There is an income deduction order, but for whatever reason the support is not being deducted from his paycheck. He moved to NJ & is working out there. Should I register the support order with NJ so I can get full payment? Do I send it to the clerks office in the county he lives in or do I send it to the NJ child support office?
A: You do not need to involve the NJ court. Your local Florida child support enforcement entity can help you. Contact the court where you live and notify them of his new employment. They will make sure that NJ receives the IDO.
