To calculate this, we multiply the total child support amount (line 13) by each parent's percentage of income. For CP, it is 46% x $342.00, which equals $157.00 per week. For NCP, it is 54% x $342.00, which equals $185.00 per week.

New Jersey has an anti-retroactivity statute that only allows a child support modification to be effective back to the date that notice of the motion was filed.
A major case from the New Jersey courts sets the standard for modification of child support orders. It says that if a parent is experiencing "changed circumstances", the parent can file a motion (legal paperwork) with the court and ask the judge to grant relief by increasing or reducing the award.
