Free New Jersey Child Support Calculator

In New Jersey, child support is the financial contribution from the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent towards the expenses of raising the child. Generally child support expenses include the basic necessities such as food, clothing shelter and medical care.

Every state has individual divorce laws with specific child support guidelines that are used in calculating how much child support is to be allocated. While every state has its own child support laws they all take into consideration the income levels (earned and unearned) of both the parents as well as the expenses related to raising the child in calculating child support

Since child support guidelines differ so much from state to state it's important that you use the appropriate child support guidelines for determining how support will be calculated for your case.

Every child is entitled to be supported by both parents until they reach the age of majority (usually 18) or become emancipated. In New Jersey the age of emancipation for the purpose of child support is 18. Child support enforcement is a joint effort of the Federal and State government to help families establish paternity when needed, and obtain and enforce child support orders.
