Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Yes, but only to the extent that it limits that parent's ability to argue that they cannot pay since they have to pay other expenses. If you are getting into a college tuition dispute, I suggest you see an attorney. Feel free to call me at 732/773/2768 to discuss further.

Perhaps, but not usually. I agree with the other attorney that it can only be used to limit the argument about paying for other expenses, but in the State of New Jersey, a parent�s obligation to provide toward the higher education of a child of the parties is generally determined pursuant to the factors set forth in Newburgh v. Arrigo, 88 N.J. 529 (1983). There is alot of money at issue in these types of cases and I also agree you should seek the advice of an attorney.

I would be happy to follow up with you. Please email me directly or call my office if you would like to schedule an appointment either in person or by telephone. My contact information is listed in the links below.
