Q: To file motion to terminate child support in NJ, do you do so in the county where you divorced or where you reside now?
A:
The county where the divorce judgment was entered.
Make sure you use the correct docket number on all pleadings filed and make sure that you send a duplicate copy of your application to your former spouse at the same time that you file with the court and make sure that you have proof of service of your application on your former spouse to provide to the court.

A: I respectfully disagree with my learner colleague Attorney Diamond. You can file in either the county where you reside and or where you were divorced. You are going to need to have a current 2022 tax return as well as a final W2 for 2023 if you are an employee. But if you own your own business you will have to have a 2022 tax return and a Profit & Loss Statement and a current Case Information statement. You should also consider the attorney's reviews. Pick the best attorney you can find and remember one rule: a good attorney is generally never cheap, and a cheap attorney is generally never good so don't choose based on price. With modern technology, you can be represented by any high-quality attorney in New Jersey irrespective of geography.
