Child Support

Jersey City Child Support Lawyer

In New Jersey, statutory guidelines set the monthly child support payment level. The level depends on several factors including the income of the parents, the custodial time spent with each parent, alimony, health care expenses, and potential work-related child care expenses.

The Law Offices of Irwin D. Tubman, LLC has 28 years of experience dealing with child support, child custody, and other related family law issues. We can assist you with child support matters such as:

• Establishment of the initial child support level
• Calculation and recalculation of the required support level
• Modifications in child support
• Enforcement of child support orders
• Collection of back child support
• Paternity as it affects child support

Modifications in Child Support

Once it is set, the child support level can be modified when circumstances change. A significant increase in a support provider's income, or a decrease based on a long-term material circumstance may cause the court to issue a modification order.

At the Law Offices of Irwin D. Tubman, LLC, we believe that a person entitled to support should receive everything the law requires. We also believe that a person providing support should not have to pay more than the law requires. We can evaluate your situation, and if a need for change is indicated, our firm can take action to obtain a modification for you.

Imputation of Income

Our firm can represent you in cases involving non-support and collection of child support. The law empowers a judge to impute income for the purposes of calculating child support when a payer or receiver refuses to work or is determined to be underemployed. When a payer or receiver misrepresents their income or is alleged to have misrepresented income in an attempt to avoid paying support, we can take action on your behalf to ensure compliance with the statutes.
