Rule 5:6-6. Probation-Initiated Status Review of Support Orders

The Probation Division may present to the court for status review any appropriate case being enforced by Probation, subject to appropriate procedural due process requirements. The court shall consider such cases and may modify, suspend or terminate a support order, close a Probation-supervised case, or take such action as the court may deem appropriate and just. Status review hearings shall not substitute for motions or applications for post-dispositional relief initiated by parties to the case and may only be used by Probation as a vehicle to manage cases being enforced by Probation. The forms and procedures to implement the provisions of this Rule shall be prescribed by the Administrative Director of the Courts.
