Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 10:110-13.2

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) All child support orders shall be established or modified, including a modification request in accordance with 42 U.S.C. § 666(a)(10)(B) due to proof of a significant change in circumstances, in accordance with the New Jersey Child Support Guidelines as adopted by the Supreme Court in Rule 5:6A and Appendix IX.

1. The Child Support Guidelines may be modified or deviated from by the court only where good cause is shown.

2. The determination of good cause is within the sound discretion of the court.

3. If the Child Support Guidelines are not applied in a specific case or the guidelines-based award is adjusted, the reason for the deviation and the amount of the guidelines-based award (before any adjustment) shall be specified in writing on the guidelines worksheet or in the support order and recorded on the automated child support system.

(b) Application of the Child Support Guidelines results in a rebuttable presumption that the amount computed is the correct amount for the current child support obligation.

(c) An order or judgment requiring one or both of the parties to provide health care coverage for the child shall be sought when such health care coverage is available at reasonable cost. Health care coverage shall be deemed to be of reasonable cost when it is available through a parent's employer or other group as defined at 45 C.F.R. 303.31.
