Career Change, Change of Circumstances Regarding Reduction of Child Support and/or Alimony
Does a career change constitute a "change of circumstances" to justify a reduction of child support and/or alimony?

In New Jersey, a separation agreement is any legal document signed by both spouses outlining the terms of the separation. Subjects resolved in a separation agreement can include child support, child custody, debt allocation and asset distribution. Notarizing the document ensures its validity, since there is no such case-type in New Jersey that provides for a "legal separation." Spouses wanting child support during the separation period, however, must file a claim with the New Jersey probation department.
