    Default Emancipation law in New Jersey

    I am a parent of an 18 year old paying $400 per month to the other parent. We currently live in NJ. Our only child is going to college in NC where I had full custody from 6th to 8th grade. The father is moving to NV, I'm moving back to NC. I'd like for each of us to come up with a financial plan. At first the father was in favor of that but changed his mind after I went to court for a mediation appointment. Then he put $400 down on the tuition to the NC college. The father wants to continue to receive payments and I'm worried college will not be paid for since the father tried very hard to get the son to go to school in NV and I have to put motions in all the time to get things done, like his braces.

    What does your child support order say about payment of child support past the age of 18?

    The only child support order I know of is our most current order from NC which says nothing about payments (unless the father had something done which I know nothing about.) Wouldn't I get a copy? The father and I used the public county agencies for figuring out child support payments in NC and in NJ. The probation officer in NJ said I might have to pay through college since there is nothing about payment in the order and NJ doesn't automatically stop payments at 18. Then he directed me to the County Law library in NJ which is a good half day's trip.

    You can review the New Jersey child support guidelines online, in PDF format. If you don't have a copy of your support order, you can get one from the court which issued it (although there will likely be a copying fee).
