The New Jersey Supreme Court order issued earlier this month relaxes and supplements Rules 5:7-4A and 5:7-5 to conform to a statutory amendment that prohibits an automatic suspension of a child support obligor’s driver’s license upon the issuance of a child support-related warrant. N.J.S.A. 2A:17-56.41 was amended in 2019 to prohibit suspensions, but became effective on Jan. 1 of this year.
The order ends the practice of suspending driver’s licenses by operation of law, but permits a suspension if, after adequate notice and an opportunity for a hearing, the court finds a license suspension is warranted.
