Directs the suspension, by operation of law, of certain offenders' child support obligations.
This bill automatically suspends child support payments (both current and past-due amounts) for individuals incarcerated or detained for over 180 consecutive days, without requiring a court order. It applies to all child support orders monitored by New Jersey’s IV-D agency or probation division, while past-due amounts (arrearages) remain due and can be collected through administrative methods like tax offsets or license suspension. Both the person ordered to pay support and the custodial parent must receive written notice about the suspension, expected reinstatement date (90 days after release), and their right to request payment if the person has income while incarcerated. The Department of Corrections and Juvenile Justice Commission must also inform individuals about this suspension during intake processing.
