Legal matters involving children can arise due to a divorce or outside of a divorce case if the parents were not married or if they have been divorced for some time. One of the most important legal issues regarding children is child support. Both legal parents have the duty to financially support their children, and this often means that one parent should pay support to the other to help cover the expenses and basic needs of a child. In New Jersey, child support is calculated by a specific formula that takes into consideration each parent\u2019s income, expenses and custodial responsibilities. Our child support lawyers can review and evaluate any child support determinations to ensure that they are fair and can request a modification of an existing order if needed.<\/p>\n
