2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 2A - Administration of Civil and Criminal Justice|Section 2A:17-56.7b - Findings, declarations relative to child support reform.

2A:17-56.7b Findings, declarations relative to child support reform.  2. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Title III of the federal "Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996," Pub.L.104-193, provides New Jersey with the authority and guidance to structure and administer an effective and efficient child support program that is accessible to all the citizens of this State needing its services; b. Work and the timely payment of child support promote the best interests of all families with children; c. The expeditious establishment of paternity and child support obligations is integral to the development of a safety net for participants in the Work First New Jersey program established pursuant to P.L.1997, c.38 (C.44:10-55 et seq.) and their children. With the implementation of the Work First New Jersey program and its time-limited benefits, the establishment of child support orders and the collection of child support are essential to the ability of families to achieve and maintain self-sufficiency; d. The early establishment of paternity and child support orders creates a basis for individual security and family stability, and fosters an understanding of personal responsibility in children and teenagers; e. The efficient establishment of paternity and support obligations, and the effective enforcement and collection of child support obligations pursuant to the provisions of Pub.L.104-193, will maximize the federal funding available to New Jersey for these services; and f. The provisions of this act incorporate and expand the fundamental concepts of P.L.1981, c.417 (C.2A:17-56.8 et seq.) and comply with the federal initiatives embodied in Pub.L.104-193. L.1998,c.1,s.2.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 2A - Administration of Civil and Criminal Justice|Section 2A:17-56.8 - Enforcement of child support orders.

2A:17-56.8 Enforcement of child support orders.  2. Every complaint, notice or pleading for the entry or modification of a support order and every court order which includes child support shall include a written notice to the obligor stating that the child support provision of the order shall, and the health care coverage provision may, as appropriate, be enforced by an income withholding upon the current or future income due from the obligor's employer or successor employers and upon the unemployment compensation benefits due the obligor and against debts, income, trust funds, profits or income from any other source due the obligor except as provided in section 3 of P.L.1981, c.417 (C.2A:17-56.9). The written notice shall also state that the driver's license and professional or occupational licenses, or recreational or sporting license in accordance with P.L.1996, c.7 (C.2A:17-56.41 et seq.)held or applied for by the obligor may be denied, suspended or revoked if: the child support arrearage is equal to or exceeds the amount of child support payable for six months; the obligor fails to provide health care coverage for the children as ordered by the court for six months; or the obligor fails to respond to a subpoena relating to a paternity or child support proceeding; or a warrant for the obligor's arrest has been issued by the court due to failure to pay child support as ordered, failure to appear at a hearing to establish paternity or child support, or failure to appear at a hearing to enforce a child support order and said warrant remains outstanding. The written notice shall also state that the amount of a child support order and the provisions for health care coverage may be reviewed and updated when there has been a change in circumstances or in accordance with section 5 of P.L.1990, c.92 (C.2A:17-56.9a).  The court shall ensure that in the case of each obligor against whom a support order is or has been issued or modified, the obligor's income shall be withheld to comply with the order. An amount shall be withheld to pay the support obligation and it shall include an amount to be applied toward liquidation of arrearages reduced to judgments, payments for paternity testing procedures and provisions for health care coverage when applicable. These provisions shall also be applicable to all orders issued on or before the effective date of P.L.1985, c.278 (C.2A:17-56.16 et seq.). A support provision contained in an order or judgment issued by the court shall be paid by income withholding unless the order or judgment specifically provides for an alternative payment arrangement to which the parties agree in writing or the obligor or obligee demonstrates and the court finds good cause for establishing an alternative arrangement. L.1981,c.417,s.2; amended 1985, c.53; 1985, c.278, s.2; 1990, c.92, s.1; 1995, c.58, s.2; 1996, c.7, s.1; 1998, c.1, s.18.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 2A - Administration of Civil and Criminal Justice|Section 2A:17-56.9 - Income withholding.

2A:17-56.9 Income withholding.  3. For support obligations that are payable through the Probation Division, the Probation Division shall mail the notice of immediate withholding to the obligor's payor if the payor is known. If the obligor's source of income is unknown at the time the Probation Division receives the support order, the Probation Division shall mail the notice to the payor within the time frame required pursuant to federal law. If an alternative payment arrangement has been ordered as provided in section 2 of P.L.1981, c.417 (C.2A:17-56.8) or a support order entered prior to October 1, 1996, the income withholding shall be initiated by the Probation Division when the obligor has failed to make the required child support payment and has arrearages accrued equal to the amount of the support payable for 14 days, or without regard to an arrearage or an alternative agreement if the obligee, for good cause, or the obligor requests that withholding be initiated. Subject to the provisions of P.L.1981, c.417 (C.2A:17-56.8 et seq.), an income withholding shall be initiated by the Probation Division and shall take effect without amendment to the support order or further court or quasi-judicial action and without regard to any alternative arrangements entered into by the parties or ordered by the court. The total amount of income to be withheld shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted under section 303 (b) of the federal Consumer Credit Protection Act (15 U.S.C. s. 1673 (b)). The income withholding shall be carried out in full compliance with all procedural due process requirements. The Administrative Office of the Courts shall establish procedures for promptly terminating the withholding when necessary and for promptly refunding amounts which have been improperly withheld. The Probation Division shall extend the income withholding system to include withholding from income derived within the State in cases where the applicable support order was issued in another state. When an income withholding order has been issued in this State, it shall promptly be forwarded to the obligor's principal place of employment pursuant to P.L.1998, c.2 (C.2A:4-30.65 et seq.) or to the appropriate child support agency in the payor's state in the form prescribed by the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement. All procedural due process requirements of the state Title IV-D agency where the obligor has income shall apply to the income withholding.

2A:17-56.9a Review of child support payments; adjustment or determination; challenge.  5. At least once every three years, unless the State has developed an automated cost-of-living adjustment program for child support payments, the parties subject to a Title IV-D support order shall be provided notice of their right to request a review, which shall be conducted in accordance with the rules promulgated by the State IV-D agency in consultation with the Supreme Court. Such review shall take into account any changes in the financial situation or related circumstances of both parties and whether the order of child support is in full compliance with the child support guidelines.  Upon completing the review and if a change in the amount of child support is recommended, the State IV-D agency or designee shall so notify the obligor and obligee in writing of the child support amount that is recommended. The obligor and obligee shall be afforded not less than 30 days after such notification to file with the State IV-D agency and the court a challenge to such proposed adjustment or determination. If proof exists that the obligor and obligee have been provided with at least 30-days' notice of the proposed adjustment, the court shall adjust the child support amount as proposed by the department if either party does not challenge the recommended award within the prescribed time or fails to show good cause why the adjustment should not occur. In accordance with section 351 of Pub.L.104-193, a proof or showing of a change in circumstances shall not be required prior to initiation of a review or for the adjustment of an order under the three-year review process; however, a proof or showing of a substantial change in circumstances shall be required prior to the initiation of a review or for the adjustment of an order outside the three-year review process.

Permit the child's other parent, or the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services as the State Medicaid agency or the Division of Family Development as the State IV-D agency, in the Department of Human Services, to enroll the child under the health benefits plan if the obligor, who is the covered person, fails to enroll the child; c. Not terminate coverage of the child unless: (1) the obligor provides the payor with satisfactory written evidence that the court or administrative order is no longer in effect, or the child is or will be enrolled in a comparable health benefits plan whose coverage will be effective on the date of the termination of coverage, or (2) the payor is no longer providing or making available to its employees health benefits plan coverage which includes dependents; and d. Withhold from the obligor's compensation the obligor's share, if any, of premiums for health benefits plan coverage for the obligor and the obligor's dependent and pay the withheld amount to the health benefits plan carrier or administrator, as appropriate, subject to federal regulations.

A payment received on or after April 1, 1995 shall be subject to the provisions of this section. The income withholding shall be subject to the following conditions: a. the amount of income withheld shall be to the extent necessary to reimburse the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services in the Department of Human Services for the costs it incurred in covering the health care services for which the party responsible for maintaining medical support coverage received the payment; and b. the income withholding to reimburse the division shall be subordinate in priority to any other withholding under a child support order.

Any obligor claiming to be aggrieved by an unlawful discharge may initiate suit in Superior Court for damages and reinstatement of employment. In any action, the prevailing party may be awarded reasonable attorney's fees; provided however, that no attorney's fees shall be awarded to the respondent unless there is a determination that the action was brought in bad faith. In addition to any other relief or affirmative action provided by law, the payor may be liable for twofold compensatory damages. Compensatory damages shall include the costs of proving the discharge, out-of-pocket expenses, and lost income. If the payor fails to withhold the amount of the order, the payor is liable for amounts up to the accumulated amount the payor should have withheld. Payors shall notify the probation department promptly of the termination of the obligor's employment and provide the obligor's last known address and the name and address of the obligor's new payor, if known.
