GUTTENBERG HUDSON COUNTY NEW JERSEY CHILD SUPPORT LAWYER MEDIATION

NEW JERSEY DIVORCE MEDIATION LAWYER The mother appealed the dismissal of her complaint for lack of jurisdiction. She was seeking enforcement of a 1991 Florida child support order pursuant to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act. Although Florida no longer has exclusive continuing jurisdiction to modify the orders because neither parent nor their son resides in Florida, New Jersey also lacks such jurisdiction under UIFSA. That is because Section 611 of UIFSA has an 'anti-hometown' rule which requires the obligee [the mother] to go to the obligor's [the father] state for modification. Therefore, the New Jersey divorce judge ruled correctly concluded that the mother must register and seek modification of the order in the father's home state of Texas. Page v. Till, New Jersey App. Div., August 22, 2008
