NJICLE is pleased to present this seminar that has been requested by attorneys throughout New Jersey. The Child Support Guidelines are used as a rebuttable presumption to establish and modify all child support orders. This seminar will focus specifically on an in depth analysis of the Guidelines: the philosophy behind them, their relation to the Case Information Statement, important considerations when preparing them and practical advice regarding their preparation and use.

As an attorney, you can’t afford to miss this in-depth presentation to gain a thorough understanding of these important aspects of law.
