What is the emancipation law in new jersey for child support?
Answers:
Newly introduced New Jersey legislation requires child support to continue past the age of majority if the chid has a mental or physical disability which causes the child to be financially dependent on a parent.
Bill S-614/A-1925 were released from the Senate Judiciary Committee on June 9, 2005. They are opposed by the New Jersey State Bar Association, presumably because existing case law already provides that such children are not legally emancipated.
Unlike other states, New Jersey divorce law does not deem a child emancipated at any particular age. Instead, the focus is event-driven, i.e., when is the child no longer economically dependent on her/his parents? In a case, a parties' 23 year-old son was not emancipated until after he received his college degree, even though that required an additional semester past the fourth year of college attendance.
a child is emancipated when he or she turns 18, unless enrolled in a full time (12 credit/semester) secondary school. Then it's usually 4 years after 18.
If a teen has been emancipated by courts or by reaching age of majority support order can be modified. The Non custodial parent (paying the support) should go to court in which support order was ruled and request it modified.
