In New Jersey, child support payments are determined by a set formula. However, if your original agreement no longer makes sense, there are several paths for determining a new one. First, you may be able to talk with your co-parent and reach a new agreement. In these circumstances, you can work with a child support attorney to draft a new legal agreement, which you’ll both need to sign and turn in to the court. Second, if you want to work with your co-parent to reach an agreement outside the courts but feel you need support in talking through it, you may choose to pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation. In ADR, you and your co-parent will work with your child support attorneys to reach an agreement under the guidance of a neutral third party. Finally, if the first two methods don’t seem like a good fit for your situation or have failed to produce a new agreement, you may choose to file a motion for a modification with the courts. Your attorney can help you gather all the information needed and guide you through the process.
