Re: explanation of abandonment laws in new jersey
you clearly need to hire a divorce/family law attorney, and take action. nothing i can tell you over this bulletin board will assist you. Find an attorney reasonably near you who will clearly explain his/her experience in this area of law, and will clearly explain what fees will be charged for what services.
Good luck to you. You have a nasty situation.

I believe what you are asking is whether your child's father can be located and compelled to pay more child support than he has up to this time. He can be located and compelled to pay child support based on his income.
