Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Can my ex file for divorce if he owes child support? He currently is behind $5800, he recently paid $284 (137 + 5 for arrears x 2 weeks) which is odd considering the last time he paid was when he filed for a modification to lower his payments. it is set through the courts that if he is defaults two weeks in a row he has a bench warrant for his arrest. I dont know why he has put this amount, my guess would be he was stopped by police (because he has not paid his CS) or he has filed some paperwork (im guessing divorce) so can he file if he is behind? and how can i find out if he filed for divorce or even another modification?

Divorce has nothing to do with arrears. I suggest you speak to an attorney about this. Call me at 732/773/2768 to discuss.
