I have seen your question.
My name is David Salvaggio. I have more than 35 years of legal experience and head a law firm that devotes its practice exclusively to New Jersey Divorce and Family Law matters. Please feel free to take a look at our Firm Website (www.salvaggiolaw.com) for further information about my firm.
The answer to your question is:
A Motion could be filed, requesting that the child support arrearage payments be made directly to your daughter. However, I presume that all of your payments relate to the period prior to your daughter's emancipation. If so, the mother will probably argue that she should receive the money because she was supporting the daughter during that period of time.
Your question does not specify the town in which you live. My firm's offices are located in Morristown, NJ (Morris County). We handle cases in all of the counties in northern and central New Jersey, including not only Morris County but also Somerset, Hunterdon, Sussex, Warren, Passaic, Bergen, Hudson, Middlesex and Monmouth counties.
If you live in one of those counties and you want some help, please call my office (973-455-1220) and speak to the firm’s Client Intake Coordinator Dara Vanderhoof. I will be happy to have a brief phone call with you--at no charge of course--to get more facts.
