Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Child Support Jurisdiction
My divorce was handled and complete in New Jersey where my ex-husband, I and my children resided before and during the divorce. My ex-husband now resides in New York, and the children live with me in New Jersey. My ex-husband pays child support through the county where I reside. This was set up at the time of the divorce and agreed upon. There were arrearages that were argued in a New Jersey court and he was ordered to pay these arrearages. He has since taken the matter to Staten Island, NY court and had the arrearages overturned. Is this right? I thought that only the court in which the divorce and where the children still reside could have jurisdiction. Please help...tax issues are at stake. Thank you.
