Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: paid child support in cash

It is not that great a problem. I feel that you have left some information out such as whether for the past eight years there has or has not been an active child support order.

Give me a call if you like.

Re: paid child support in cash

If all payments were voluntary and not required by Court Order, this is not a problem because a Court is not supposed to make retroactive child support orders. In other words, she would only be entitled to have her child support awarded retroactive to the date of the application. Assuming that this is a new application, the Court will look at current information (your income, her income, cost of child care, cost of health insurance, split of parenting time, etc.), and make a fair determination of the amount of child support.

Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have

provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one

can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice

because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have not

already done so, you should immediately meet with an attorney for a full consultation before you

take any further steps. You may feel free to call me to discuss this matter in more detail. If you

do so, mention Law Guru and your first one hour of time will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner

Re: paid child support in cash

I would suggest at least meeting with an attorney in person to discuss your case. As Mr. Moore indicated, there is some important information that you left out that could swing your case either way. I'd like to discuss that with you and then give you a better answer.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340.
