Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Without reviewing any prior orders or paperwork associated with your case, you would have to file in the state where your last order was generated. So, if the last child support order was issued by a court in Ohio, you'd have to file in Ohio. There is also an option to file a motion for a change of venue (basically, location) of the case if you can show the court that none of the parties reside in that state and that it would be more beneficial, convenient, or efficient to move the case to a different state. Once venue was changed, you'd be able to file for child support in the new state where the case is transferred. Please keep in mind this is general information and that it's advisable to have an attorney review your prior court orders and discuss the facts with you to get an idea of what's appropriate in your specific circumstances.
