I see, thanks for that info. I guess I am trying to get the best/most I can for my kids since they have gone without for so long. I would hate that they would have to play second best being the first. I did just remember though, when I first had them, I relied on the state for help and received welfare. In that process I received child support. Since then I dropped the case when I got off it (biggest mistake I ever made was to drop that), I still have an older child support number, I wonder if the courts will recognise that? hmmm. Wish me luck I am filing papers today to get this through probation first.

Hi, no I am talking about filing for Child Support

[My question is does anyone know in the state of NJ is there is an advantage to having first born children vs first filed children?]

Hi I have 2 kids (15 and 13years old) by my ex husband. Through our divorce he was ordered to pay 36 dollars a week for support to me directly. To date he has not done so. He also has another child with someone else that is 12 years old. He has been on child support for that child since the child was 3 or 4 years old and is now at the rate of  $112 per week. I am currently in the process of requesting my child support be paid through probation so that I can get something for my kids even if it is only through tax season.

My question is does anyone know in the state of NJ is there is an advantage to having first born children vs first filed children? 

I am not sure how they figured my kids would get $35 per week at the time, however it seems unjust that his other kid gets more than double that and combined mine get nothing. Now he has not paid any support and is constantly in and out of jail, however while we were married our income tax was always garnished, any unemployment was garnished and so on. His other child did sometimes get a support check, so I would like to apply so that even in the rare times my children will receive something. I guess I am trying to figure out if my kids, his first born children are entitled to more support from him?

Does anyone have any case law studies that I can look up and possibly mention in court when I speak to the judge?

thanks for any help you have to offer
