What Issues Can Be Arbitrated? During arbitration, the parties and their attorneys determine the issues to be arbitrated in advance of the hearing, including whether to arbitrate related non-family law matters. A non-exclusive list of issues that the parties can choose to arbitrate include equitable distribution, pension issues, alimony, disposition of the marital home, custody of children, parenting time, and child support. Derek M. Freed, Esq., founding member and managing partner of Ulrichsen Rosen & Freed LLC is certified as an arbitrator by the American Academy Of Matrimonial Lawyers.

Unlike litigation, parties can choose to enter into binding or non-binding arbitration. In non-binding arbitration, if either party disagrees with the arbitrator’s final ruling, they can choose to take their matter to court. The parties are not bound by decision. In binding arbitration, the parties choose to accept the decision of the arbitrator as legally binding and enforceable. The arbitrator’s decision is final and ends the dispute.

The Child Support Guidelines Do Not Always Apply In High-Income Divorces In situations where the combined net income of the parents exceeds $187,200 per year, the court shall first apply the child support guidelines up to $187,200 and then supplement the guidelines based award with a discretionary amount based on the remaining family income (i.e., income in excess of $187,200) and the factors specified in N.J.S.A. 2A:34–23. Thus, the maximum guidelines award represents the minimum child support award for families with net incomes of more than $187,200 per year. The court shall not extrapolate the guidelines for the purposes of calculating the supplemental portion but rather uniquely tailor it based on the financial circumstances of each matter and the specific needs of the children involved. To tailor the child support obligation, it is necessary to create a budget specifically for the child’s expenses and determine the child’s reasonable needs.

Itemizing a Child’s Needs If you have questions about child support, itemizing a budget for your child or any other family law related issue, please contact our firm. Ulrichsen Rosen & Freed LLC is focused exclusively on the practice of family law and serves clients throughout New Jersey including clients residing in Mercer County, Somerset County, Hunterdon County, Burlington County and Middlesex County. "When the child support guidelines are inapplicable because a family’s net income exceeds the threshold of the Child Support Guidelines, a budget for the child or children must be created to specifically delineate their expenses so a court can evaluate the specific needs of the child or children. This budget should include expenses such as work-related childcare, food (at home, at restaurants, at school), household products, including toiletries, clothing, haircare, sports and activities, camps, vacations, entertainment, gifts, and out-of-pocket medical expenses (such as co-pays, glasses/contact lenses, therapy). Moreover, if you maintain a family plan for expenses such as your cell phone plan, medical insurance, and car insurance, you should contact your provider and find out what the cost is for each of those expenses per child."

From the URF blog: Divorce Mediation Considerations --- A client recently asked us how to best prepare for their upcoming divorce mediation and what to expect regarding the process. While every case provides its own unique set of facts and personalities, the following tips are universal. Prepare and Prioritize There is nothing that frustrates a mediator more than a party that arrives at a scheduled session without any inclination of how they would like to address certain critical issues such as custody, parenting time, financial support or the division of assets. While there is surely an “ebb and flow” associated with the negotiation process, a client that has no bearing on how they would like to settle issues only delays and causes more complication to the process.

What will happen to my season tickets in a divorce? -- Season tickets may be shared, bought out, or sold during a divorce. You might agree (in writing) to alternate games or allow one ex-spouse to use the tickets for the first half of the season and the other for the second half. Divorcing spouses could approximate the value of the tickets and have one spouse buy the other out of their share, or they could sell the tickets to a third party and split the return. -- Contact us to learn more: https://www.urf-law.com/ #FamilyLaw #NewBeginnings #Journey #Lawyer #Divorced #Coparenting #Separation #Family #Law #DivorceLawyer #BreakUp #DivorceAttorney #womeninlaw #legal #prelaw #lawyersofinstagram #njlawyer #princetonlawyer #penningtonlawyer #princetonfamilylaw #princetondivorcelawyer #attorney #princetonattorney
