WEST PATERSON NEW JERSEY DIVORCE MEDIATION

A student who has lived in New Jersey for twelve months prior to enrollment is presumed to be a domiciliary for tuition purposes under N.J.S.A. 18A:62-4. If that student is dependent on out-of-state parents, the presumption in the student’s favor is neutralized. The New Jersey Supreme Court holds that all of the evidence must be considered to determine if the student’s domicile is in New Jersey. Shim v.
