Rule text
a. IV-D Application. Any party seeking full Title IV-D enforcement services by the Probation Division of an order that includes the payment of child support, or spousal support in conjunction with child support on the same order, shall submit a completed Title IV-D application, except as otherwise provided by law. An application fee must be paid by the party applying for services or paid by the State out of its own funds and may be recovered from the non-custodial parent, except as otherwise provided by law. The forms and procedures to implement the processing of the IV-D application and collection of the fee shall be prescribed by the Administrative Director of the Courts.
b. Monitoring-Only Application. In the absence of the submission of a Title IV-D application for services, as required by paragraph (a) of this Rule, the Probation Division may provide monitoring-only services of support orders that are paid to the New Jersey Family Support Payment Center. Monitoring-only services shall be limited to entering and updating of case demographics on the statewide automated system, and the collection, disbursement and recording of payments made to the New Jersey Family Support Payment Center. In the absence of a Title IV-D application, the Probation Division shall not provide any enforcement services. A party may apply for limited, monitoring-only services, by completing a monitoring-only application and pay the applicable fee. The forms and procedures to implement the processing of the monitoring-only application and collection of the fee shall be prescribed by the Administrative Director of the Courts. If the order, when initially entered, contains a provision for the payment of child support or spousal support in conjunction with child support on the same order, the support shall be paid through immediate income withholding, unless either party shows and the court finds good cause for an alternative arrangement.
