Child Support Attorneys in New Jersey

Experienced Child Support Representation

In New Jersey, children have a right to support from both parents, whether or not they are married or living together. While other areas of family law are regulated by general guidelines, child support is governed by a strict formula. Our experienced child support lawyers can help you make sure that formula is applied properly.

At Townsend, Tomaio & Newmark, L.L.C., in Morristown, we work to protect the rights of both children and their parents. Contact us to schedule a consultation with a knowledgeable family law and child support lawyer in New Jersey.

Pursuing Accurate and Fair Child Support Determinations

Child support determinations often arise during divorce. You or your child's other parent can also seek child support in a paternity proceeding. In either case, child support is subject to modification when circumstances change. In each case, you will want an experienced child support lawyer on your side.

Child support in New Jersey is determined based on a fixed formula, but that does not mean it is a simple matter. The formula includes several elements, some of which are only relevant in certain situations.

Morristown Guidelines Lawyers

Your spouse's lawyer may conveniently forget to include a particular element in a proposed child support settlement. Our Morristown child support attorneys are completely familiar with all aspects of the child support formula and skilled at spotting deviations.

The main elements are the incomes (or earning abilities) of each spouse, which must be accurately determined in order to arrive at a fair child support order. Other factors include health care, child care and other regular expenses. Each parent's level of child custody is a component, as is the age of the child.

Guiding You Through the Enforcement Process

Child support enforcement is treated as a very serious issue in New Jersey and nationwide. If your child's other parent is not paying child support, a child support lawyer in New Jersey can help you pursue your enforcement options. If you are being sued for child support, you deserve a legal advocate.

We serve clients in North and Central Jersey, including Morris County, Somerset County, Essex County, Union County, Hunterdon County, Bergen County, Passaic County, Sussex County, Warren County, Mercer County, Middlesex County and Monmouth County.
