JERSEY CITY NEW JERSEY HUDSON COUNTY DIVORCE MEDIATION CHILD SUPPORT

There was no reason to modify the parties’ negotiated and agreed upon common $97,000 annual earnings imputation. The mother failed to present sufficient grounds to set aside that figure : she did not allege she was defrauded by any misrepresentation of her former spouse. Any mistakes about the financial and tax consequences of her agreement to buy out the interest in the marital home were unilateral. There is no reason to depart from applying the average historical rate on A-rated long-term corporate bonds to impute her income.    Orihuela v. Orihuela, New Jersey App. Div., December 17, 2007
