Effective February 1, 2017, the New Jersey termination of child support law that was passed in early 2016 establishes 19 years of age as the age when child support will end with some exceptions. Child support can continue up until age 23 years of age if the dependent child is still in high school; is attending full-time college, vocational school, or graduate school; or is disabled;  or if the parties have a separate agreement regarding the termination of child support or if the Court orders child support to continue in a particular case. The Court is in the process of mailing Notices of Child Support Obligation Termination and Notices of Proposed Child Support Obligation Termination to families with children over 18 years of age as the new law is being implemented.

If you have questions regarding any notices that you receive under this new law or would like to address any other questions related to child support, please call Laurie’s office to schedule an appointment with her. Her office number is 856-745-8214.
