Emancipate Child Support at 18 Years Old Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/emancipate-child-support-at-18-years-old.html Online petition signatures en-us Sun, 5 Apr 2026 02:13 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Anonymous [Signature #69] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/22317143?utm_medium=rss I think it is ridiculous how much some people are ordered to pay child support! And in most cases, the money isn't even spent on the child. That's the case here in Missouri with my husband. Something needs to change!

She was engaged but wanted to wait until gopher final payment. Now, his obligation for support is emancipation, which she now spends on herself. College was "ability to pay" in their decree. She now has conveniently quit her job 2 years before college. So, does this mean now that he has to not only pay for college for 2 children, but support her laziness on top of it? We have to change this law to 18. This is absurd.

The adult can be 26 and the court can say they are still in school and require support. This is the craziest thing I've ever heard. I can't stand NJ anymore, and I see why so many people are moving out of here!

At the age of 18, he/she is by law an adult and responsible for their own actions and decisions. as a married couple there is no legal obligation to continue any type of support but as an unmarried or separated parent we are forced to continue financial support of an adult.

His son hasn't spoken with my husband since January because of the mother. The court ordered that my husband pay 57% and the mother pay 43% of the tuition-but she is taking us back to court to try to get even more money...my husband paid the entire tuition bill last year because the mother refused to pay...I feel this whole situation is so unconstitutional and so unfair and takes the joy out of doing good for your child. Instead of feeling grateful the child feels entitled...instead of feeling good about paying for your kids education NJ makes the parent feel like they are in shackles. ...and the custodial parent makes out like a bandit. This law has got to change. emancipate@ 18 New Jersey!!! Let kids grow up & really be adults.

This is because they profit off the collected money that funs the Judges pensions. With the Federal Matching Funds program they receive for each dollar of Child Support they collect. This is truly unethical, criminal and a conflict of interest regarding the NJ Child Support System and Family Courts of NJ.

The Family Court judges are out of control and need to be reined in. Non-custodial parents, especially fathers, have been victimized by the ever-present corrupt judges in the Family Court system for too long. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the legislature will do what is right and fair and stop the corruption. It's time that non-custodial parents have someone looking out for their rights.
