Butler, NJ asked in Child Support and Family Law for New Jersey

Q: Where exactly COLA child support administrative hearings (probation dept) are held in Paterson, NJ?

The notice to appear says to report to "65 Hamilton St., Court Annex". There is no floor or suite number. The mailing address of the probation division is 77 Hamilton street. I am already anticipating the guards at the entrance shrugging their shoulders and having no idea where it is actually held. I don't even know who will be at the hearing, apparently it's a randomly selected probation officer. Normally I would call a Court Clerk, but this is probation department, they don't have a Court Clerk. The hearing is tomorrow :( Any clue on what suite number or floor are these hearings held at?

A: At the courthouse annex, you will let them know that you are there to meet with a hearing officer to do the cola to the existing child support order. If they ask you information about your ex's financial setting, you can provide them with whatever details you are aware of as well.
