Re: filing for emancipation of a child(stop child support payments)

Speaking as a Virginia attorney and admittedly not familar with the requirements of New Jersey

family law, I still have no idea why you should have to engage counsel in New Jersey to "enforce the terms of your divorce decree" or to "file an application for emancipation" of the minor child

when your decree already specifies that your obligation terminates on June 26th in the year 2002.

A copy of the decree with a simple letter of explanation with a request that your case be closed to the court or agency in New Jersey

to which you have been sending your support may be all that is required here to terminate formally

your child support case.

Re: filing for emancipation of a child(stop child support payments)

Thank you for your e-mail inquiry rgdg termination of child support. Although you no longer live in NJ, it would probably be easier for you to file your application in NJ, assuming no facts are contested. You could file in your home state, but you would first have to get NJ Court to relinquish jurisdiction. So, you would have to file with NJ first any way. Please do not rely on this e-mail without first consulting with counsel. Our firm has a dept of family law attnys who could assist and represent you. Please call 856-795-6700 to schedule a consultation (either in person or by telephone.) No attorney/client relationship has been created by this e-mail. Good luck to you. K.Scheiner
