There is no guarantee that this will be the amount of child support that will be ordered if you go to court. The results obtained

are only as accurate as the information provided by you. The actual child support order will be affected by other factors. The

Court has the final authority to determine the amount of the child support order.

The complete text and charts of the Guidelines is more than 100 pages (in full-size type). In New Jersey, the Guidelines are set by

The New Jersey Court Rules. The Rule number is 5:6A (the actual charts are an Appendix to the Rule, in the back of the Court Rules

Book). Most major libraries in the State have a copy that you can read or photocopy. All law libraries in the courthouses have

public copies. The Guidelines are also available on the Internet at

Important Definitions as used in the Guidelines:
