2A:4-30.87 Verification of complaint, petition, pleadings; contents.
23. a. A petitioner seeking to establish or modify a support order or to determine parentage in a proceeding under this act shall verify the complaint, petition or comparable pleading. Unless otherwise ordered under section 24 of this act, the complaint, petition or comparable pleading or accompanying documents shall provide, so far as known, the name, residential address, and social security numbers of the obligor and the obligee, and the name, sex, residential address, social security number, and date of birth of each child for whom support is sought. The complaint, petition or comparable pleading shall be accompanied by a certified copy of any support order in effect. The complaint, petition or comparable pleading may include any other information that may assist in locating or identifying the respondent.
b. The complaint, petition or comparable pleading shall specify the relief sought. The complaint, petition or comparable pleading and accompanying documents shall conform substantially with the requirements imposed by the forms mandated by federal law for use in cases filed by a support enforcement agency.
L.1998,c.2,s.23.
2A:4-30.88 Disclosure of identifying information, protective order.
24. Upon a finding, which may be made ex parte, that the health, safety, or liberty of a party or child would be unreasonably put at risk by the disclosure of identifying information, or if any existing order so provides, a tribunal shall order that the address of the child or party or other identifying information not be disclosed in a pleading or other document filed in a proceeding under this act.
L.1998,c.2,s.24.
2A:4-30.89 Assessment of fees, costs.
25. a. The petitioner may not be required to pay a filing fee or other costs.
b. If an obligee prevails, a responding tribunal may assess against an obligor filing fees, reasonable attorney's fees, other costs, and necessary travel and other reasonable expenses incurred by the obligee and the obligee's witnesses. The tribunal may not assess fees, costs, or expenses against the obligee or the support enforcement agency of either the initiating or responding state, except as provided by other law. Attorney's fees may be taxed as costs, and may be ordered paid directly to the attorney, who may enforce the order in the attorney's own name. Payment of support owed to the obligee has priority over fees, costs and expenses.
c. The tribunal shall order the payment of costs and reasonable attorney's fees if it determines that a hearing was requested primarily for delay. In a proceeding under sections 33 through 46 of this act, a hearing is presumed to have been requested primarily for delay if a registered support order is confirmed or enforced without change.
