Bergen County, NJ Child Support Lawyer Is Your Family’s Advocate

When a child’s parents are not living together whether because of a divorce or because they were never married, each parent has the right to participate in raising the child and the obligation to provide them with care and support. In New Jersey, child custody arrangements are crafted in the child’s best interests. This includes ensuring that each parent adequately provides for the child’s food, clothing, shelter, and other needs. Few issues between a child’s parents can get as contentious as questions of child support, though. If you need help establishing child support from your child’s other parent, or if the other parent is supposed to be paying but doesn’t, our Bergen County, NJ child support lawyer can help ensure you receive the full allotment as decreed by the court.

Fighting with the other parent over child support can be exhausting and stressful, plus damage any cordial co-parenting relationship the two of you have. Let our attorneys do the hard part. Call Kantrowitz, Goldhamer, Graifman, Perlmutter & Carballo, P.C., today to learn more.

Determining Child Support In New Jersey

Family law judges in New Jersey look at a few things when determining child support orders. First, the custody arrangement is reviewed. If both parents have shared custody and have roughly the same income, then it’s unlikely that there will be a child support order. However, if there is a significant income disparity, we may help you petition the court for child support so that your child enjoys the same standard of living at both homes.

If one parent has primary custody, the other parent must usually pay child support. How much depends on how many children the couple share and the income of both parents. The paying parent is obligated to make payments based on their financial resources, with penalties if they are delinquent or stop paying.

Child Support Orders Enforcement

If you have child support ordered by the court or as part of your divorce settlement and the paying parent is consistently late on payments or not paying at all, you have the right to take legal action. We can help you petition the court to find the other parent in contempt of court or even garnish their paycheck so you can get the money you need to care for your child.

Or, perhaps you need help modifying an existing child support order. Suppose one parent experiences a significant material change in their circumstances since the initial support decree was issued. In that case, they may petition the court to decrease the amount they are paying or increase the amount they receive. We can help with those matters, too, as they can get complicated and require sufficient supporting documentation.

Do you need help with New Jersey child support issues? Whether you need to track down your child’s other parent and request child support payments, negotiate a fair arrangement as part of your divorce, or enforce child support orders, contact our Bergen County child support lawyer. The family law attorneys at Kantrowitz, Goldhamer, Graifman, Perlmutter & Carballo, P.C., have the tenacity and legal experience you need to help protect your child.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
