Protecting Children During Divorce

In many divorce cases, the impact of the separation is not just limited to the spouses involved. Children, who are innocent bystanders in the process, often bear the brunt of the consequences. It is essential to remember that children can be just as affected – or even more so – than the adults. That’s why at Spodek Law Group, we understand the importance of protecting children during a divorce. Attorney Todd Spodek has years of experience handling complex divorce cases nationwide and is committed to providing compassionate and professional legal representation to all clients, especially children.

Child Support in New Jersey

One of the most critical issues to work out in a divorce involving children is child support. At Spodek Law Group, we recognize that child support payments go beyond covering basic necessities such as food, shelter, and clothing. Child support is crucial for ensuring that children’s well-being is maintained even after a marriage or relationship ends. In New Jersey, child support laws cover a broad range of expenses, including clothing, transportation, entertainment, and extracurricular activities, among others.

What Is Covered Under New Jersey Child Support?

Clothing, including winter clothes, school uniforms, shoes, and accessories, is included in the child support payment. Transportation to school, doctors’ appointments, clubs, activities, etc., is also covered. Entertainment costs, such as fees, memberships, admission to sports, sports equipment, recreational events, TVs, mobile devices, sound equipment, toys, playground equipment, video games, photographic equipment, hobbies, and lessons or instructions, are also included. Additionally, child support payments cover the cost of clothing and gear associated with extracurricular activities, except for sports footwear. Non-custodial parents are not required to pay towards extracurriculars unless there is a separate provision in the child support agreement.

At Spodek Law Group, we believe in going above and beyond for our clients. We recognize that child support can be a contentious issue, especially when it comes to paying for extraordinary expenses. Extraordinary expenses are costs that are typically beyond the means of one parent, such as private school tuition or expenses for gifted or special needs children. In these cases, the non-custodial parent may be ordered to share the costs. We work diligently to ensure that our clients receive the best possible outcome when it comes to extraordinary expenses.

Factors That Impact New Jersey Child Support

The amount of child support a parent may have to pay or receive in New Jersey depends on several factors, including their income, the other parent’s income, the number of children from other relationships, and whether a child is receiving Social Security benefits. Our team at Spodek Law Group understands that every case is unique and requires a tailored approach. That’s why we work closely with our clients to assess their individual circumstances and devise a strategy that best suits their needs.
