Court Reserves on Support Modification

[Novice]

My question involves child support in the State of: NJ

I filed a motion for modification of support in March 2012. In April 2012, the Court granted my motion in part, ruling that discovery was warranted to determine the proper modification of support. Both parties were ordered to submit financial documentation, for the Court to recalculate support.

During the course of the discovery, my ex filed a separate motion, asking for various forms of relief. The Court included the modification/recalculation of support from my motion in the preliminary Order for the motion filed by my ex.

I objected to the figures used in the Court's calculation of support in the preliminary Order, due to incorrect income attributed and incorrect # of overnights credited to each parent. As a result, the Court elected to "reserve judgment on the Court's recalculation of child support" and issued the remainder of the Order stemming from my ex's motion.

Nearly two weeks from the issuance of the Order reserving judgment on support, I have heard nothing further from the Court. Do I now need to take some additional action to ensure that the support modification is processed?

If only two weeks have passed, there's no reason to believe the court has forgotten the matter. You can contact the court to see if the judge's clerk can provide information, but you want to avoid being a pest - I would give it some time.

Thank you. The Judge's clerk seems to already perceive me as a pest, due to my pointing out the errors in the Court's calculations. I will sit tight.
