It was reported last week that there may be a error generated by the software family court uses to calculate child support payments. As a default (i.e. if there is no other agreement in place), NJ uses a formula known as the child support guidelines. The court uses software to to the calculations on each case where it is required. It seems that one litigant found an error in the software’s calculations. The court is investigating the source of the problem.
So, if the court performed the calculations for you, you may want to manually verify the math.
