New Jersey Lawyers Who Handle Post-Divorce Issues
Issues such as a job loss, a proposed relocation by a custodial parent, or concerns about a child's well-being can arise after your divorce. It often takes a lawyer's advice to help you take appropriate steps to meet your needs and the needs of your child.
At Nee, Beacham & Gantner, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your situation and explain your options. Our law office is located in Hillsborough, New Jersey, directly across from the Doris Duke estate on Hwy 206.
Here are some of the most common post-judgment modifications our attorneys handle for our clients:
- Child support modification. In New Jersey, the amount of child support you pay normally should be reviewed periodically or whenever there is a significant change in your employment. Child support may be increased or decreased if your financial circumstances have changed.
- Emancipation of children. While there are exceptions, child support generally continues in New Jersey until your child's 18th birthday. However, your obligation to pay child support continues until you seek emancipation.
- Relocation. If you have visitation rights, your ex cannot remove your child from the state without permission from you or a court.
- Changes in child custody. Child custody and visitation can be changed in New Jersey when change is in the best interests of your child.
- Changes in alimony. Alimony is usually difficult to change because it is provided by a legal contract. Our lawyers can evaluate your situation and let you know if a change in alimony payments can be pursued or prevented.
You should never stop paying child support or alimony without first obtaining court approval.
