I work with a girl who has been divorced for over 12 years and her ex does NOT pay support...claims he doesn't work and drinks way too much and is always threatening her with police (and they show up!) when he can't get in touch with her. He sees the daughter maybe 3 times a year but calls and if she isn't available on a whim the police are there. Basically he keeps her in fear as she really has no backbone. She works 10 hrs a day to support herself and her 14 year old daughter. She has NO life and I feel bad for her. She has zero $ to spend on an attorney...any place or organization available to her for help...in New Jersey? Her Family lives out of State.

Regardless of their living situation or relationship, both parents should provide the financial and emotional support a child needs to grow into a responsible adult. New Jersey's child support program can help.
The first step in establishing a child support order is to determine the amount of child and medical support to be paid.
This is determined by the New Jersey Support Guidelines. These state Supreme Court-approved guidelines are applied in all child support cases. The guidelines have one purpose: to determine how much money each parent should contribute for the care of the child.

Social Services is made for this kind of problem. No attorney is needed if in the beginning support was ordered. Social services will make him pay them then they will pay her. This way she doesn't have to deal with him at all. No backbone needed! Also they will suspend visitation rights till he is completely caught up in severe cases like this! Call them, that's why I pay my taxes so people like her don't have to deal with guys like that!

Have her call the Prosecutor's office. In most cases, they'll be more than happy to take dead beat dads to court. There may be a small charge (I think it was $25 here where I live if they haven't raised it), but that's information she can get from them over the phone.

you can try to search for a public defender where they would help you for free base on the income. I hope that help
