Did your lawyer tell you to keep all your divorce papers in a safe place so you can find them again easily? Here’s one of the reasons for it: If you need to make a motion to modify a support obligation later on, you can’t do so without filing both a current case information statement and the original case information statement filed in your divorce action, under NJ Rules of Court Rule 5:5-4(a). This requirement was recently underlined in the case of Palombi v. Palombi where the court held a motion deficient on its face, that sought a modification of financial obligations without providing a current and a prior case information statement. The deficiency was evidentiary, the court said, and could not be cured at oral argument.
