我應該申請子女扶養費嗎 (Child Support)?

Hardship Stay of Eviction: The Worst Named Law in Housing

是的!雖然有些父母會私下達成口頭協議 (verbal agreements ),協助支付不在自己身邊照顧的孩子的尿布或食物費用,但這些口頭協議在法庭上是無法強制執行的 (enforceable)。主要照顧者(Parent of Primary Residence),即與孩子同住超過50%時間的父母),有時為了維持和諧關係,並促進孩子與另一方父母的感情,可能會選擇放棄追討子女撫養費。但重要的是要記住,子女撫養費旨在確保父母雙方共同為孩子的財務與經濟福祉做出貢獻。

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,您應該聯絡當地的法律服務辦公室尋求建議。新澤西州的法律服務辦公室如下:

***中部澤西法律服務處(在密德薩克斯郡 ‘Middlesex’、莫瑟郡 ‘Mercer’ 和 友聯郡 ‘Union’ 設有辦事處)Central Jersey Legal Services (with offices in Middlesex, Mercer and Union County)      電話 (732) 249-7600

***艾塞克斯郡 ‘Essex’ – 紐華克 ‘Newark’ 法律服務處(在紐華克 ‘Newark’ 的辦公室)                                      電話 (973) 824-3000

***西北部澤西法律服務處(在桑莫塞郡 ‘Somerset’、亨特頓郡 ‘Hunterdon’、華倫郡 ‘Warren’、莫里斯郡 ‘Morris’ 和薩塞克斯郡 ‘Sussex’ 設有辦公室)                                                                  電話 (908) 231-0840

***東北部澤西法律服務處(在哈德遜郡 ‘Hudson’、博根郡 ‘Bergen’ 和帕塞克郡 ‘Passaic’ 設有辦事處)。       電話  (201) 792-6363

***南部澤西法律服務處(在坎姆登 ‘Camden’,、大西洋 ‘Atlantic’,、伯靈頓 ‘Burlington’、開普梅 ‘Cape May’、坎伯倫 ‘Cumberland’、格洛斯特 ‘Gloucester’、孟莫斯 ‘Monmouth’、海洋 ‘Ocean’ 和薩倫 ‘Salem County’ 等郡設有辦公室)。                                                               電話 – 1-800-496-4570

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。
