Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Profit from house sale and child support

Hi,

I would not wait. There are many things you can do immediately, but if you wait it might take too long.

First, if the home is in his name, you might be able to ask the Court to impose a trust of the proceeds or a portion thereof to cover support. I did not see whether he is in arrears, but this can be paid and must be paid from the proceeds of the sale.

Next, if you hire an attorney, you probably do not need to appear in Court everytime he files. I would be happy to assist you.

Please call my office if you would like to schedule an appointment. My contact information can be obtained from the links below. Let my secretary know you found me through LawGuru, and I will give you a free initial consultation.

Re: Profit from house sale and child support

Your situation is fairly common, and I would be able to help you. You must fight him in Court, or risk having the child support reduced. I would need a bit more information to guide you as to what the child support level should be. If you can prove that he should be earning a lot more, then you may be able to have the Child support increased.

You do not need advice, I think. You need a lawyer. And yes, it may be possible to avoid having you come to New Jersey every time.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. The telephone consultation will be free. I would be happy to help you out.

Income will be inputed to a father who refuses to work. Also funds in his possession will constitute a part of the Court's consideration of the father's ability to pay child support

Re: Profit from house sale and child support

He can't just stop working. You have several options, some of which the other attorneys have already detailed. You also don't have to keep going to court if you have an attorney for you. I suggest you speak with an attorney to find out all of your options and see where you want to go. My consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 and we'll discuss your case.
