What is the name of your state? Good Ol' New Jersey!!
I have a question for anyone who will take time to read this: I will try to be brief as the boards suggest: Here is the problem: My husband is paying 1200.00 a month in c/s, providing insurance, (all plus prescription coverage) and paying 75% of any extra expenses to his ex wife. When this agreement was in place, she was newly married, and we had no children of our own. It is now almost 2 years later, since the kids wanted to go live with her, and we have 2 of our own now, ages 14 months and 3 months. We found out that she is on welfare from the state of New Jersey, AND collecting support from her now ex husband no. 2, and she wont work...not cant work, WONT work. I read in the New Jersey Amended Child Support Guidelines that she cannot be forced to work, BUT her income can be imputed. Is this true? She sits at home, and watches ER, as I have seen on more than 14 occasions when I took the child support check to her. Why is this 35 year old able bodied woman allowed by this screwed up state to sit home, breed, and take my hard working husband to the cleaners? We have 2 kids that from what I read, the State of NJ would take into consideration: They state that NO CHILD, either from 1st marriage nor second marriage should suffer. My husband is taking her back to court, to get it reduced. ALSO, he provides prescription coverage that allows ALL prescriptions to cost: $5.00...well she told me that she is getting state of NJ assistance for prescriptions, is this legal? Thanks, and sorry sooooo long! Just a little mad.
