Emancipation has to do with support obligations in New Jersey and has nothing to do with insurance companies. Thus, I don’t see how there is any change even though the age has changed. With regard to your second question, there is no set date for emancipation. Thus, the child “could” be 43, 33 or 23. I think it is just about impossible to take 12 credits and still take 5 years to get a 2 year degree.

You mentioned that emancipation ends all support but with the new laws you are able to emancipate and still keep them on them on your insurance until 26 correct?
Also in NJ if the child is 23 working part time is there a limit how long they can continue to work on the same degree for example 5 years on a two year degree?

Yes, emancipation ends all support.

If emancipation is granted, does health insurance coverage stop as well as child support?

When you go to court without an attorney, everything seems to go wrong. Out of all the horror stories I hear about, 90% involve someone without an attorney. My fees are very reasonable.

How come i can not have my child emanciapted when he has told me he is not attending school full time and i continue to pay over 700 a month more then his father is paying. He does not live in my residence nor his fathers has been 18 since july. And why can you not get any help with child support issues for a reasonable fee.. This is making me have to lose my house and eventually my job will have to go then what and how will he get paid….

I would need much more information. But probably not, especially if you don’t have an attorney.

My 20 yr old son was attending the University of Central Florida part time, and has now moved back to New Jersey, resides by himself and seeking employment. He is not sure about what he wants to do for the future and this hiatis could be months. I have filed for emancipation. Do you think New Jersey will emancipate him?
