Somerset County Support Enforcement Attorneys 

Appealing Support Enforcements in Central New Jersey

In order to enforce an order for support—or to request a change in the support amount—you must file a motion with the family court. The decision to enforce the order or not will take place after a hearing. If you disagree with the court’s decision, you have the option to appeal or take the decision to a higher court.

If you are having problems after a child or spousal support settlement, you do have options. Whether your former spouse is refusing to pay the court-ordered amount or proposing to increase the amount you must pay, there are court processes one of our family law attorneys can help you navigate that allow you to make your case.

Call Lane & Lane, LLC at (908) 259-6673 to find a Somerset County enforcement attorney who can discuss your case with you. We also serve Morris County, Union County, Middlesex County, and Essex County.

Consequences of Paying Back Support in Arrears

If the court decides in favor of the spouse filing the enforcement order, the spouse who owes support may incur a variety of consequences. If payments are not remitted, the funds may be garnished from wages or taken from any tax refunds. It’s also possible that the spouse’s driver’s license could be suspended, passport denied, or a judgment passed that prevents the individual from buying or selling property. As a last resort, a warrant may be issued for the spouse’s arrest.

  • Help you become acquainted with your options and counsel you on the best course of action

    He was very professional, easy to deal with and sensitive to the procedure.
    “Daniel Lane helped me execute my divorce after an independent mediation. He was very professional, easy to deal with and sensitive to the procedure. That was the most unexpected and pleasantly surprising part of our relationship during the process. During his consultations, he dealt with me as a person first and foremost, not just a client on a retainer. I highly recommend him and his practice.”
    - Joe P.
    I look forward to continuing to seek Eric's opinion and professional services in the future.
    “I have personally worked with Eric Lane on numerous occasions for transaction insight and due diligence purposes while reviewing new opportunities for my business. His service was always extremely professional, helpful and prompt. Eric was able to give me valuable knowledge while helping to negotiate leases for new potential locations, as well as finding out information about the local township and regulations that would affect my business decisions; making me aware of things I wasn't and helping me to better understand things that I wasn't very familiar with. Whether a new business starting out or an established company looking to grow, I would highly recommend his services. I look forward to continuing to seek Eric's opinion and professional services in the future.”

    Dan is always available whenever I call him for any questions or concerns.
    “I can't say enough about Dan and the Lane & Lane firm. Dan was my 3rd attorney during my divorce/visitation process, which for a man in NJ can be very expensive and overwhelming. Dan carefully listened to all of my concerns and goals throughout this process and explained everything that was required to meet my goals. Dan is always available whenever I call him for any questions or concerns. My most important goal was seeing my 8-year-old daughter on a regular basis and building a healthy father-daughter relationship. That goal turned into reality and now I see my daughter all the time! At the end of the day, Dan cares about the human factor and in my case being able to be in my daughter's life. Dan is great in court and defending your rights as a father. I would recommend Dan and the Lane & Lane firm to anyone looking to get divorced in the state of NJ they are top-notch.”
