Im not sure what would be in your emails that would be related to sweking child support, but yes you can take him to court for both. You have the criminal and civil actions for breaking into and threatening to disseminate your personal information.

Unless you adopt the lady's other child, you would have no child support obligation to her for that child. From what you have expressed and the way you have expressed it, you need to retain an experienced NY matrimonial attorney and do not get married prior to having a signed pre-nuptial... View More

No. Not if they reside together.

I recommend you go to the child support services office of the state whee the children live and open a case to request modification of your child support. Most agencies have online/telephonic services to some extent that can assist you with application process. Your biggest challenge will the... View More

Every situation is unique and has many factors. I can tell you that cohabitation is a reason to stop alimony payments, but not child support. Those are still his children and he still shares responsibility for their needs. That being said, you should consult with an experienced family law... View More

Thank you for your question. Pensions are governed by the federal law, specifically the ERISA statute, but state courts in New Jersey have held that a pension may be garnished to pay child support. There may be more than one court order needed for the plan administrator of the pension to do so.... View More

The starting point for this discussion is the relationship between your wife and her ex in laws.

If her son lives with the ex in laws, then she can speak with them about having her child support payments directed to them instead of in favor of her ex. Presumably, your ex and his parents... View More

DO NOT WAIT ANY FURTHER! Contact the court immediately ( responding to whomever sent you the notification) telling them that you have not received any of his paperwork and therefore cannot respond to his claims. Send a copy of that submission to the probation officer in charge of your account and... View More

Schedule a consultation with a certified matrimonial ( divorce) trial lawyer before you agree to anything. This is too important an issue to simply agree upon without understanding the legal significance of your actions. Too often, we family law specialists hear stories about someone getting bad...

I am not sure why you need proof today as to the emancipation of your child in 1998 ( 22 years ago), but the easiest way would be for your ex to sign a letter acknowledging that you paid your child support properly and that your obligation ended in 1998 and that there were no child support arrears...

Whether married or not, the obligations owed to a child remain the same ..... but the starting point in this discussion is the language of your agreement or court order for child support & parenting time. Presumably, your agreement / court order provided you and your ex with a joint legal... View More

Thank you for your question. I'm sure that is a very stressful situation. You should immediately contact the probation department and make sure they know that your son is over 18. If you are on amicable terms with the other parent you should also ask him or her to contact probation and suspend... View More

Potentially yes. The NJ case is Miller v Miller, which stands for the proposition that a family court judge is authorized to impute income to an immune asset ( inheritance) for child support calculation purposes. Hypothetically, your ex received an inheritance of 500,000. The court can impute an... View More

There is case law in NJ addressing a custodial parents plan to change a child's last name - translated, its not that simple if your ex is opposed to it. My suggestion is that you meet with a family law attorney to learn what is permissible and what will result in litigation between you and... View More

Thank you for your question. That sounds very frustrating. You need to consult an experienced family law attorney in the state where your child support order originates. If it is a NJ order then seek counsel in NJ. Also, consider that if you are still paying child support then your ex is receiving... View More

Thank you for your question. It could have been either one. The probation department might have commenced an enforcement proceeding if your father is in arrears on his support. It is also possible that your mother filed an enforcement motion because your father is in arrears and she wants that... View More

It is unlikely that Massachusetts would enter a new support order as most states do not compel support after the age of 18. That being said, I am not licensed in Massachusetts. You would need to speak to an attorney licensed in that jurisdiction for a complete analysis.

The only thing that you can say to a New Jersey Family Court Judge now is that the reason why she agreed to waive child support from you is because you and she discussed the cost of travel for you to travel to Florida to see your son and the cost of your son coming to New Jersey to visit you....

Thank you for your question. This situation must be very stressful for you. The short answer is that you need to file a motion to modify the prior order to give you custody and adjust child support accordingly. That being said, your case has a lot of moving parts, so you should consult with an... View More
