Child Support and Mediation

New Jersey law establishes general child support guidelines. I help you understand the basis of these guidelines and how they apply to you. I am committed to achieving the best possible financial solutions within the guidelines. That begins with using the discovery process to compel a full, truthful financial disclosure, so the court can calculate basic child support with accurate data. Affluent couples must often deal with issues beyond basic child support, such as payments for private school tuition, sports and enrichment activities. I help you obtain support payments that best accommodate your financial circumstances and most appropriately provide for your child’s needs.

Through the structured process of mediation, couples can put aside their differences and focus on the one objective where they tend to agree — their children’s well-being. Mediation presents a forum for creating fair child support plans that allow both parents to share in the financial obligations of raising their children. Trust the experience of Kornitzer Family Law to guide you through the mediation process.

Enforcement of Child Support

You’ve gone through the difficult process of divorce Unfortunately that doesn’t necessarily mean the end of your legal journey. All too often a spouse will fall behind on child support payments. When this happens, you may need assistance to collect the money that rightfully belongs to your child through an enforcement order.

In the simplest terms, an enforcement order is basically an order that directs your ex-spouse to take a specified course of action within a certain time frame. Enforcement can be used for things that aren’t necessarily financial in nature. A great example would be, if your ex-spouse is not following the parenting plan and not paying child support, an enforcement order would require them to abide by that order.
