The child support guidelines set down by New Jersey statute are followed in the majority of cases. When this issue is left to the court to decide, an impersonal child support calculator will often be used that sets the amount of support owed based on a sliding scale of income.
The divorce and family law attorneys at Farkas & Donohue will work hard to help you resolve any child support disputes without the expense of a trial. We will seek a cooperative settlement agreement that both parties can agree is fair and equitable. At the same time, we will use our extensive experience to ensure that your rights are protected and that the child support arrangement is workable.

Modification and Enforcement of Child Support
When circumstances change substantially, it may be necessary to seek a modification of the child support agreement. Events that may necessitate modification include:
- Unexpected health care needs on the part of the child
- Change in employment status on the part of either parent
- Unusual educational needs and expenses
- Physical or mental disability on the part of either parent
Regardless of the event or condition that renders the original order unfair or unworkable, the non-custodial parent (the one paying child support) is required to pay the court-ordered amount of child support unless that order is modified.
When a parent fails to pay for child support, the attorneys at Farkas & Donohue can assist in the enforcement of the support order. For answers to your questions about child support and to discuss your options in ensuring that any child support agreement is, and remains, equitable and in the best interests of the child in question, please contact us today.
