My question involves child support in the State of: New Jersey
My ex husband is supposed to be paying me child support in the amount of 950.00 a month for 3 children. I retained the marital home and it is listed in the divorce that he would sign a quit claim, and that I was responsible for mortgage payments and property taxes. Please note his name is still on the mortgage until I can obtain one myself.
I fell behind on the property taxes so my ex decided that instead of paying his child support he would withhold all but 92.00 a month to cover the cost of the property taxes.
His actions have left me and the children in a serious financial situation. I was advised to file an enforcement suit and request wage garnishment by child services.
My question is: Can he withhold my child support to pay the tax bills on the home?
Child services says no, but Im very stressed out waiting for my court date the end of September.
I cannot afford an attorney so I filed the paperwork myself. Yet I think Im nervous because he is bringing his attorney. When I asked child services they told me I dont need a lawyer for something so cut and dry...
HELP! Id like to sleep for just one night!
