Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Child support

The answer will very much depend on what the husband agreed to at the time of the divorce. However, if he agreed to pay child support for his exwife's child, has paid it since age 3yrs old and now is age 17yrs, it is going to take a lot to convince a Judge to let him change that. When the child is emancipated (which varies depending upon the child's actions) then the husband should apply to terminate support. I would need to know a lot more to give any kind of advice on the 'chances' of success here.
