Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Does child support decrease when one child is taken off support.

Child support is reduced by whatever percentage of

the support payment the child represents. On the

other hand, child support can be recalculated based upon any change in either parent's income.

If the other parent has had a significant increase in income the amount of support of one

child will be increased.

Re: Does child support decrease when one child is taken off support.

You need to retain an attorney to review the existing child support order, and any other relevant materials; and to file a motion to modify child support. The court will then use the child support guidelines along with both parents' income and any other relevant factors to determine the present amount you must pay. Please do not assume that you can unilaterally change the amount of support as the amount you pay must be based on the present guidelines and present circumstances, which may have changed significantly since the time of your original child support order.

I strongly recommend that you consult with an attorney immediately so that you can explore your legal rights, obligations, and options. If you wish to discuss retaining my services, contact me at:
