What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
I have an 18yo son with my ex-husband. There is a CS order filed in 1994 for child support for $50/week. The probation agency (CSE) has been relatively inactive in enforcing this order but the most recent activities had been in 2005 when they scheduled a hearing for non-compliance for which he showed up and then again when the CSE tried to emmancipate the child in 2010. I attended the 2005 hearing and I also responded to the emmancipation request in 2010. I have no idea if exH responded to the 2010 emmancipation request. Since DS is still in high school, emmancipation was not granted.
My question is would the Defense of Laches apply in NJ under these circumstances? I spoke to a social security representitive a few years ago and she stated that they routinely garnish SS checks in our state for CS arrears but she was not a lawyer, obviously. What would I have to do to prevent my exH from using this as a defense?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
