Child Support

New Jersey Child Support attorney

Although the law requires that both parents support their children, child support payments can be awarded to the parent who has physical custody of the child or children. New Jersey uses an official child support calculator to determine the amount of support to be paid. The calculator takes into account the incomes of both parents and the number of children involved. It also considers which parent is paying for health insurance, day care, or other needs of the children. These and other factors are used to determine the child support award. For more information about child support, contact our West New York office.

At the Law Offices of Jeffrey M. Bloom, we help people make sure that the child support to be paid or received is fair. We analyze the financial situation, making sure that the calculations accurately reflect it. We examine all the needs of the children, such as religion, education, extraordinary medical equipment, and other special requirements. Whether we represent the mother or father, our law office works to ensure that child support awards are just.

The New Jersey child support calculator considers issues such as the amount of alimony paid or received, whether the parties are employed to their full capacity, and the visitation schedule. The law stipulating the use of the calculator also includes provisions for modification and enforcement of child support. In addition to making sure all factors are accurately included in a child support award, our law firm represents parents who have not received or paid child support. We obtain court orders to have child support payments garnished from the payor spouse's wages. We have defended spouses who were jailed because of non-payment. In each case, our overriding concern is the welfare of the children involved in child support arguments.

Our law firm puts children ahead of all other considerations in all matters that arise from divorce. Our attorney makes a practice of staying current with each county's procedures for handling delinquent child support payments so that when problems arise, our office is prepared. We believe it is not in the best interests of the children to be caught in the middle of a lengthy support dispute. Being prepared allows for speedy resolution of any support issues.
