Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Inability to pay court ordered child support and arrears
My husband fathered 2 children from previous relationships. He has no contact with them (never has) and has been ordered to pay $217.00 per week for them. He also has substantial arrears due to a long illness where he was unable to work. They are suspending his license and have told him to appear in court in a couple of weeks. Failure to appear will initiate a warrant for his arrest with the possiblity of up to 2 years confinement. He will not be able to work, won't be able to get to the court appearance (several hundred miles away) and we'd like to know our options (if any). He's fed up with the system and wants to turn himself in. Does he have any legal recourse?

Re: Inability to pay court ordered child support and arrears
He really needs to resolve his obligations or this will haunt him forever. If that means getting an attorney in New Jersey to represent him in the child support proceedings, he must do it. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit ofinformation that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, you may want to contact an attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. If you call me, [856-546-8010] mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
