Both Parents Are Financially Responsible For Their Children 

All children are entitled to financial, medical and emotional support from both parents. However, each family comes with their own set of needs and circumstances.

Though the New Jersey Child Support Guidelines are most commonly used to establish child support, each family should adequately assess all of their circumstances to ensure that their children are appropriately cared for.

A request for support for children should include a request for their general needs, but also their more specific needs such as medical, educational and extracurricular expenses. Daycare or before/after care expenses should also be addressed. Please note that child support is also a bit different when children enter college.

New Jersey Child Support Guidelines

Child support is generally a determined by using the NJ Child Support Guidelines, which is a formula that considers the following factors: the parenting schedule, both parent’s incomes, health insurance premiums, and work-related child care expenses if any.
