Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: child support

There is no relief for someone who voluntarily significantly reduces his income. To get a reduction in your support obligation you would have to demonstste that circumstances forced you to leave.

Re: child support

I agree with Mr. Moore. In addition, there is no point in any of us giving you cases to support your position. Often times, its not what you say, but how you say it.

This case should not be expensive and if you win, you will get your legal fees back in the long run. I suggest you get an attorney to do this for you as you have the money to do it. My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.

Re: child support

I agree with my law guru colleagues that citing precedents is not key sometimes it is how and when to cite them and where are the exceptions to the rule.

A "voluntary" reduction can lead to criticism by the courtwhen rulinmg on a reduction application. Also how much does your ex make now? Are there other children? Does her spouse's income play a role in the ODD?

Also now that you are not paying alimony your income available for child support may require you to re-calculate and reconsider things things--- for this a lawyer is your best bet.

We pay hunders of dollars to have the child support programs that our courts use and we constantly need to study the Bible of the Child Support Guidelines to properly apply thee often sticky rules.

Do yourself a favor and have a consult--it could save you a lot more than it would cost. Do not be penny wise and pound (dollar) foolish as they say.

Best of Luck with pursuing your dream.
