KATHLEEN A. JACOBY VS. FRANK C. JACOBY A-4278-10T2
Reviewing whether child support should be reduced when a child
resides on campus while attending college, we confirm that although a child's attendance
at college is a change in circumstance warranting review of the child support
amount, there is no presumption that a child's required financial support
lessens because he or she attends
college. When faced with the question of setting child support for college
students living away from home, we reinforce the principle that resort to the
Child Support Guidelines (Guidelines), R. 5:6A, to make such support
calculations is error as a trial court's review requires assessment of all applicable
facts and circumstances and the weighing factors set forth in N.J.S.A.
