Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

I received a letter form the courts in New Jersey for child support of two of my children who are born and lives in Jamaica, West Indies. It was filed in the Jamaican court then sent to NJ court. The amount asked for child support is too high. Is this legal? What steps should i take to solve this situation?

Please keep in mind that my response is just a general comment on your question, and not legal advice. I have answered based upon the law of the State of New Jersey where I practice; the laws in other states may be very different, and may result in very different outcomes. Your question and any response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and this law firm. The exact details of your situation and things that you have not mentioned in your question can completely change the response I gave. You can not rely upon what I have written as legal advice, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you, I only have the very small amount of information that you put into your question. To get legal advice that you can rely on and use, please contact me directly.

This is new to me. I know of no compact between Jamaica and the United States for the enforcement of the order of a Jamaican court in the United States. To be of further of assistance I need to review the papers served upon you to evaluate the jurisdictional basis for the filing of such an action in the courts of New Jersey. Call me, if you like.
