我應該申請子女扶養費嗎 (Child Support)

by | Asian Article, Family-Asian

Hardship Stay of Eviction: The Worst Named Law in Housing

是的!儘管有些父母達成口頭協議 (verbal agreements ),協助為不由他們照顧的孩子購買尿布或食物,但這些口頭協議不是可以在法庭上強制執行 (enforceable) 的。主要住所的父母(與孩子同住一起生活超過 50% 時間的父母)有時為了保持良好的關係並培養與孩子和另一位父母的關係,可能會選擇放棄子女撫養費,但重要的是要記住,子女撫養費是父母雙方共同為孩子的經濟福祉做出的貢獻。子女扶養費可用於支付住房相關的費用、食物、家具、玩具、醫療費用以及與運動、課程和校外教學旅行相關的課外活動費用。雖然雙方可以遵守口頭協議,但如果沒有法院命令,若情況發生變化則無法執行這些協議。取得子女扶養費的法院命令提供了一種強制支付和追回未支付款項(欠款)的方法。

您必須提交動議 (file a motion) 來申請子女扶養費。如果您無力負擔聘請律師,也沒有符合資格獲得免費法律服務,您可以自行辯護,這稱為「親自出庭為自己辯護」(pro-se)。您可以在新澤西州法院網站 www.njcourts.gov/self-help  上找到所需的表格以及如何提交文件的說明。

子女扶養費動議的費用為 50 美元。如果您無力支付申請費,您可以提交申請,請求法院免除費用。您也可以在新澤西州法院網站上找到此申請。

當您提交子女扶養費動議時,您要附上最近的三張薪資單、前一年的 W-2 表格以及前一年的報稅表。法院將使用《子女撫養費指導準則計算表》(Child Support Guidelines Worksheet) 來計算子女撫養費,該程序根據子女數量、年齡、父母雙方收入、子女與父母雙方過夜的次數、與工作相關的子女保育費用以及子女的醫療保險費用來確定子女撫養費的數額。

一旦動議提交並送達另一方,法院將安排聽證會來計算子女撫養費。您可以選擇要求扣押另一方的工資 (the other party’s wages be garnished) – 撫養費將直接從付款人的工資中扣除,並存入收款人的銀行帳戶或以收款人名義開具的新澤西借記卡 (Debit Card),使用方式與普通借記卡相同。

關於子女扶養費,要記住的最重要的事情是,這是關於孩子的!當法律服務人員可以解釋流程並回答您的問題時,不要讓整個申請流程讓您不知所措。
