Any experience, advice, or suggestions would be highly appreciated |
1. Yes
2. If the court orders it, then yes.
3. In my opinion, yes, but I'm not sure how it actually works.
NJ is probably about the worst state to live in if you are a non-custodial parent paying child support ordered by a NJ court. NJ has just about the most stringent child support laws in the nation, with NY probably running a close second. Remember, they don't call it the "Greedy State" for nothing.
