New Jersey Child Support Emancipation Attorney
Emancipation is a legal term indicating that point when a minor becomes an adult. In nominal terms, emancipation occurs at the age of 18. But there are circumstances when legal emancipation can occur later than the age of 18, if at all. New Jersey courts consider the actual needs of the child to determine when a he or she should be emancipated, and how long a parent should be required to support the child.
At The Law Offices of John B. D'Alessandro, LLC, we advise and represent parents in all aspects of emancipation. Our firm can go to court seeking to prevent the emancipation of a child (in other words, to compel a parent to continue to provide for the needs of a child). We can also represent parents who wish to be released from child support obligations for a child who is older than 18.

Emancipation in New Jersey
In New Jersey, a parent who has the resources to do so is required to provide child support. That responsibility does not necessarily end when a child turns 18. A child's health care and educational needs are two major areas where a parent may be required to provide support beyond the age of 18.
John B. D'Alessandro will carefully examine your child's situation and needs. As an attorney with almost 20 years of experience in family law, Mr. D'Alessandro understands the law regarding emancipation and child support. John B. D'Alessandro will work diligently to protect your interests and achieve your goals.
One way to avoid a dispute over emancipation and questions about the continued need to provide for a child is to make a provision in the property division settlement or in a post-marital agreement. Attorney John B. D'Alessandro can review your case and discuss these possibilities with you.
