Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Do I have a right to ask for more child support or custody?

I divorced my ex 9 years ago and he

has been paying me the same child

support. He was starting a business

at the time of divorce which allowed

him to have minimum income. I am

remarried now for 7 years and my

husband (stepfather to my daughter)

pays all of my daughters expenses

because the child support is so

insignificant care for all her needs.

We have joint custody with primary

residence with me. It is not fair for

my husband to pick up the slack of

my ex.

The passage of nine years should mean that his business, assuming it has survived, is producing significant income for the father.

Call me if you like.

If that much time has passed, then yes, you should be able to find out what his income is, and ask for increased child support if he has increased his income.
