Edison Child Support Lawyer
Attorney Kisha M. Hebbon brings over two decades of experience to every case, representing both custodial and non-custodial parents in the establishment, enforcement, and modification of child support orders. Whether you’re initiating support as part of a divorce or custody action, or you’re facing a dispute with your co-parent, our Edison child support lawyer is here to help you protect your rights and your child’s needs.
When parents separate or divorce, ensuring the financial well-being of their children becomes a top priority. At the Law Offices of Kisha M. Hebbon, LLC, we are committed to helping mothers and fathers throughout Edison move through New Jersey’s child support system with clarity, confidence, and a focus on the best interests of their children.
How Child Support Works in New Jersey
In New Jersey, child support is a legal obligation based on the principle that both parents are responsible for supporting their children financially. The amount of support is calculated using the New Jersey Child Support Guidelines, which take into account a variety of factors, including:
- The income of both parents
- The number of children to be supported
- The parenting time arrangement
- The cost of health insurance and childcare
- Whether either parent is paying or receiving alimony
The goal is to ensure that children maintain a standard of living as close as possible to what they would have experienced if their parents had remained together. The parent who has primary physical custody usually receives child support, while the non-custodial parent is typically responsible for making payments.
Guiding You Through the Child Support Process in Edison
Whether you are seeking to establish a new support order or need help understanding your obligations, our firm will guide you through the process step by step. We handle child support cases involving initial support orders as part of divorce or custody proceedings as well as support for children of unmarried parents. Our firm works to resolve disputes over income calculations and support obligations while ensuring all relevant expenses are properly included in the calculation.
In some cases, the standard child support guidelines may not apply or may need to be adjusted. For example, high-income families or children with special needs may require additional support considerations. Attorney Hebbon has the experience to present persuasive arguments for deviations from the guidelines when necessary.
Enforcing Child Support Orders
Unfortunately, not all parents fulfill their child support obligations. When a parent falls behind on payments, it can create stress and financial hardship for the custodial parent and child. Our firm represents clients seeking to enforce child support orders through legal channels, including income withholding orders (wage garnishment), enforcement proceedings through the family court, seizure of tax refunds or assets, and suspension of driver’s or professional licenses.
We also defend parents who are accused of failing to pay support due to circumstances beyond their control, such as job loss or medical issues. If you are facing enforcement actions or need to assert your right to receive support, we can help.
Modifying Child Support Orders
Child support orders can be modified when there is a substantial change in circumstances. Common reasons for modification include a significant increase or decrease in either parent’s income, a job loss or changes in employment status, a change in parenting time or custody, or the emancipation of the child (e.g., through graduation from high school, marriage, or full-time employment).
Attorney Hebbon works with clients on both sides of modification requests — whether you’re seeking a reduction or increase in support — to ensure that any changes are fair, reasonable, and properly documented for court approval.
Helping Parents Understand Their Rights and Responsibilities
One of the most common concerns among parents involved in child support cases is confusion about how the system works. At the Law Offices of Kisha M. Hebbon, LLC, we believe in empowering our clients through education and honest legal advice. We explain how support is calculated, what the law requires, and how to address problems when they arise — so you can make informed decisions every step of the way.
Our firm helps you stay focused on your child’s long-term needs while working to achieve a solution that’s sustainable for both parents.
