This document discusses common issues that arise after a divorce in New Jersey. It outlines three frequent occurrences: one party violating the settlement agreement, a substantial change in circumstances requiring an agreement modification, and new issues not originally addressed. If the settlement agreement is violated, the unaffected party can file a motion to enforce the agreement. If circumstances significantly change finances, a party can request to modify support. Another common new issue is determining each parent's share of college costs for children when they reach college age. Resolving any of these post-divorce matters benefits from legal assistance from a family law firm experienced in these types of cases.

1. Some Common Issues that
Arise After a Divorce
by David Salvaggio

2. Introduction

Even if the parties attempt to resolve all then known
issues as part of their New Jersey divorce, there are
many things that can happen later and require further
attention.
Three of the most frequent occurrences are: one party's
violation of the Settlement Agreement, a substantial
change in circumstances which requires a change to
the Settlement Agreement, and new issues which were
not addressed in the Settlement Agreement.
When one party violates the Settlement Agreement, the
other party may need to file a Motion to Enforce
Litigant's Rights, in order to force the violating party to
comply.

3. Issues After a Divorce

If either party experiences a substantial change
of circumstances--which often happens when
one party's income significantly increase or
decreases and that party believes that the
amount of alimony and/or child support must
change--that party must file a Motion to Modify
the Settlement Agreement.
Among the new issues which frequently must be
addressed when the parties divorced when their
children were young, is each party's share of
each child's college education costs when it
comes time for that child to go to college. If the
parties cannot agree, one of the parties must file
a Motion requesting that the New Jersey family
court resolve the issue.

In any of these scenarios, both parties can
benefit greatly by the assistance of a New
Jersey Divorce and Family Law Firm which
