Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Child Support - moving

He doesn't need to notify the court, but he needs to notify probation if he is paying through there. I suggest she consult with an attorney ASAP.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.

Re: Child Support - moving

I would be suprised if the court order does not require notification.

If she knows his new address or employer she should advise the court.

Good luck.

Re: Child Support - moving

Unless specifically stated in a Court Order, there is no requirement for the Parent of Alternate Residence to request authorization to move. On the other hand, this is a substantial change of circumstance and would certainly require a change in the parenting time. Absent agreement between the parties, one party or the other should apply to the Court to come up with a reasonable parenting time schedule.

On the issue of payments, there are ways to require the continued payments, including wage execution against his new job in Texas (assuming he has one). Unfortunately, your friend may need to obtain an attorney to get things done.

Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, you may want to contact a Family Law attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. If you call me, mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
