Child Support

Our Experienced Family Law Attorneys Can Help Ensure an Equitable Child Support Settlement

Our experienced family law attorneys know how difficult it can be to navigate through the process of establishing child support in divorce situations. Child support is the legal obligation of a parent to provide financial support for his or her child, with the right belonging to the child and not the custodial parent.  The New Jersey Child Support Guidelines provide basic formulas for setting monetary awards, but while the guidelines may appear to be clear cut, your personal situation and the interpretation of the various factors provide an opportunity for adjustments.  Having an experienced and knowledgeable family law lawyer by your side will ensure that your child support settlement is equitable.

Whether you are a custodial or non-custodial parent, or have sole legal custody or joint legal custody, child support agreements are established to protect the best interests of your child by providing adequate food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and education.  Each parent in a divorce situation is responsible for providing for their child, and the New Jersey Child Support Guidelines will determine how much your responsibility will be.  The New Jersey child support lawyers at Adinolfi, Lieberman, Burick, Roberto & Molotsky, P.A. will ensure that your parental rights are protected and that a fair child support arrangement is made.

If you are a parent struggling through child support issues as part of your divorce, contact us today so one of our experienced family law attorneys will review your case.  Our attorneys have successfully handled some of the most complicated divorce and child support cases in New Jersey.

New Jersey Child Guidelines - What You Need to Know

In New Jersey, Child Support Guidelines dictate that the financial records of both parents be considered in determining how much support each parent will provide.  An analysis of each partner’s earning records, earning potential, and savings/investment accounts will be made.  The needs of the child, the lifestyle of each parent, and the ability of each parent to fulfill the needs of the child are also taken into consideration.  The spouse with the highest earning potential will most likely pay monetary support to the parent with a lower income.  A non-custodial parent is often required to pay support to the custodial parent because it is assumed that the more time a child spends living with one parent, the more money they spend providing that child with food, shelter, transportation, and basic needs.  However, this may not always be the case.

Each child support situation is unique.  The guidelines provide a basic support formula, but not every case will be fairly decided without adjustment.  There are several stipulations that provide adjustments to child support arrangements, but it can be an often complex process.  The New Jersey laws on child support can be difficult to understand, but with the help of the Cherry Hill child support attorneys at Adinolfi, Roberto & Burick, P.A., your award could be adjusted significantly.  Factors such as alimony, multiple family obligations, parenting time, government benefits, and the educational expenses of a parent can reduce the amount you have to pay, or increase the amount you receive.

Mediation & Child Support Arrangements

In all divorce proceedings, including the determination of child support, the family law firm of Adinolfi, Lieberman, Burick, Roberto & Molotsky, P.A. believes that mediation may be the best way to reach amicable agreements. Our South Jersey child support attorneys are experienced mediators and are committed to working with you and your spouse’s attorney throughout all proceedings.  Our focus is always on protecting the best interests of your child.  The end of a marriage doesn’t mean the end of the lifestyle your child has been accustomed to throughout the marriage years.  Child support arrangements should not only provide for food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and educational expenses, but should also support an unbiased standard of living for both parents.  The custodial and non-custodial parent should be able to provide their child with a balanced lifestyle so that one parent isn’t providing luxury while the other parent cannot provide more than basic needs.  Mediation can help reach these goals by allowing the parties avoid costly battles in court.

The Cherry Hill child support lawyers of Adinolfi, Roberto & Burick, P.A. uses a wide variety of mediation strategies to avoid costly and time consuming litigation, but in some circumstances, amicable solutions cannot be reached through mediation.  If it is necessary to have the court intervene in the proceedings, our child support attorneys will combine their knowledge and experience to provide skilled representation.  The New Jersey Child Support Guidelines and laws surrounding child support in New Jersey are complex, and the emotional and financial strain of litigation can be overwhelming.  You can reduce this stress knowing that the diligence and knowledge provided by our child support attorneys will ensure that your child’s best interests are protected.
