Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Contribute to Son's College Education

I have had custodial custody of my of my son since he was eight, his mother and I are not married, and she did not pay child support during this time. I currently sending him to college and paying the majority of the cost 27k, but would like her to contribute directly to him 100 per month for misc cost. What are my chances if I take her to court. I think this is within reason.

Each parent has an obligation to pay toward support including post-high school education. It will be based on the respective abilities to pay but there will most likely be some amount imposed by a Court unless agreed upon.

I cannot share the opinions of the other attorneys. I've been on the other side of these cases and I've won hands down. I think you are going to have a big problem. Thus, I suggest you get a good attorney to help you.

Your chances are good, but much better if you have a divorce lawyer to help you (this is a divorce problem).

Give me a call if you would like. I am in Hackensack, right across from the Bergen County Courthouse. I can speak to you on the telephone, but it will take more than just a brief telephone call to assist you with these issues.

My contact information can be obtained from the links below, just click on the Attorney Profile link. Let my secretary know you found me through LawGuru. This website, LawGuru, will NOT let me list my phone number in this response.
