  • 1.  NJ Wage Statistics at trial

    Posted 12-02-2014 12:01 PM
    Does anyone have experience with introducing data from the NJ State Dept. of Labor Occupational Employment Statistics Wage Survey at trial to show earning capacity?  I believe my adversary will object to the admission of the evidence and I would like to be prepared.

    TIA

    the Court can take judicial notice of the NJ Wage Statistics. Site the evidence rule for judicial notice. You should be able to submit the statistics with your stipulations to the Court at the time of trial.

    I had no problem in my last trial using this.  The Court took judicial notice and I also believe it is cited in the appendix of the NJ Child support guidelines.

    From Appendix IX-A

    12. Imputing Income to Parents.
    The fairness of a child support award

    resulting from the application of these guidelines is dependent on the accurate

    determination of a parent's net income. If the court finds that either parent is,

    without just cause, voluntarily underemployed or unemployed, it shall impute

    income to that parent according to the following priorities:

    a. impute income based on potential employment and earning capacity

    using the parent's work history, occupational qualifications,

    educational background, and prevailing job opportunities in the

    region. The court may impute income based on the parent's former

    income at that person's usual or former occupation or the average

    earnings for that occupation as reported by the New Jersey

    Department of Labor (NJDOL);
