Re: child support/child care
You, of course, can relocate to Florida. However, the Court would probably view the lower pay as a way to avoid paying child support and keep your income level at $45,000, especially if the job transfer is your choice.
Additionally, if your child is located in New Jersey, and because there is currently a New Jesey support Order, jurisdication will remain with New Jersey and be calculated under the New Jersey guidelines.
