View this case - free  

Overview: In a breach of contract suit, the parties waived their contractual right to arbitrate and, thus, a trial judge mistakenly compelled arbitration sua sponte.

View this case - free  

Overview: In ruling on mother's motion to modify child support, the trial court properly declined to consider contributions of father's employer to his voluntary 401(k) plan in calculating father's income, as neither the employer contributions nor the income generated by that plan would have been available to pay child support expenses in an intact family.

View this case - free  

Overview: In a post-divorce matter, a family court erred in failing to hold a plenary hearing before denying a father's motion to emancipate one of his sons as material facts existed as to whether the son was attending college full-time, whether he was working full-time, and whether the father was entitled to a reduction in his child support obligation.

Overview: Under N.J.A.C. 18:7-5.2(a)2(v), a taxpayer's parent corporation had not entitled, but not required, to take an excess depreciation deduction.
