UNION TOWNSHIP UNION COUNTY NEW JERSEY DIVORCE MEDIATION LAWYER

After the parties' New Jersey divorce, the father moved to lower his child support, due to his reduced finances. The mother opposed the motion, in part based on the anti-Lepis clause in their New Jersey divorce agreement. The court holds that the clause in question is still fair, there were no unforeseen or extreme circumstances and therefore modification was not in order. In fact, the application was denied without either an exchange of financial information or a plenary hearing. Finally, the mother had agreed to accept a lower support amount, specifically in consideration.    Sullivan, etc. v. Sullivan, New Jersey App. Div. April 11, 2008
