When it Makes Sense to Modify Alimony Payments
When it Makes Sense to Modify Alimony Payments (July 10, 2012)
- Q. My x is leaving the US, can I get full custody of my daughter? I don't know if he is coming back
- A: Thank you for your question. When one parent moves to another country, there would likely be good cause for the parent remaining in the United States to have sole residential custody, especially if the other parent has not been exercising parenting time. The key factor to modifying an existing custody/parenting time order is to demonstrate a change in circumstances. Without your ex’s consent to change the existing court order, you would need to file an application with the court and you should consider consulting with an attorney to learn about how representation can benefit you.
- Q. can my nj pension be subject to child support intercept
- A: Thank you for your question. Pensions are governed by the federal law, specifically the ERISA statute, but state courts in New Jersey have held that a pension may be garnished to pay child support. There may be more than one court order needed for the plan administrator of the pension to do so. In addition to a certified copy of the court order from the family court judge, some plan administrators may require a second order, a qualified domestic relations order, to carry out the wage garnishment.
- Q. Child Support
- A: Thank you for your question. Child support can be tricky, in that most of the relief only reverts back to the date an application is filed with the Court. It is imperative that your wife speak with an attorney experienced in child support and college contribution as soon as possible so that she can get an application filed. If she delays further, she may not be able to get back the child support she is still paying and she may experience an additional increase due to the college contribution.
