Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

child support

Back in 1998 I got a divoce in NJ.

The visitation agreement was for the father to have our daughters 3 nights a week and evey other weekend. He left the state witin a month of signing this and the visitation order was never changed. I was wondering if I could take him back to court for back child support as he only sees his daughter maybe once a year for a few days.

Re: child support

It is possible, but extremely unlikely, that the Judge will change the child support order retroactively for ten years. On the other hand, you certainly should go to Court to get an appropriate amount of child support, based on current circumstances. It is certainly worthwhile to take a look at what you should be receiving now.

 Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have

provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one

can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice

because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have not

already done so, you should immediately meet with a Family Law attorney for a full consultation

before you take any further steps. Mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
