New Jersey Child Support

The New Jersey Child Support Program

“There is a national commitment to child support and to accomplish this, federal and state laws work together. In New Jersey, the child support program is supervised by the state Department of Human Services, Division of Family Development, Office of Child Support Services, and is administered in individual counties. Most of your business will be handled at county offices.” — NJDHS

Overview

The New Jersey Child Support Program is a state-supervised and county-administered program that provides support for children in need. The program works to ensure that children receive the financial support and child support payments they need from their non-custodial parent or parents, through various enforcement mechanisms.

New Jersey’s child support program provides a variety of services to custodial and non-custodial parents, including:

Establishing paternity
Locating absent parents
Establishing and enforcing child support orders
Collecting and distributing child support payments
Modifying child support orders when necessary
