APPELLATE DIVISION
DOCKET NO. A-2446-17T2
AMY E. GLASER,
Plaintiff-Respondent,
v.
LAWSON SCOTT GLASERGREEN,
Defendant-Appellant.
________________________________
Submitted February 26, 2019 – Decided March 7, 2019
Before Judges Fisher and Hoffman.
On appeal from Superior Court of New Jersey,
Chancery Division, Family Part, Hunterdon County,
Docket No. FD-10-0134-08.
Lawson Scott Glasergreen, appellant pro se.
Amy E. Glaser, respondent pro se.
PER CURIAM
The parties were married in New Jersey in 1993 and divorced in Colorado
in 2002. Their oldest child was born in 1997 and attends an out-of-state Ivy
League university; the youngest was born in 2000 and attends a post-secondary
vocational school in land conservation in Arizona. Plaintiff resides in New
Jersey; the children also reside here when they are not away at school.
Defendant resides in Kentucky. The Colorado order that originally fixed
defendant's support obligations was registered in New Jersey in 2007; since
then, our courts have addressed a number of applications regarding this
obligation.
Recently, defendant moved to have the oldest child declared emancipated.
His motion was denied because the child was found to be a fulltime college
student. The motion to reduce the child support obligation for other reasons was
denied because no changed circumstances were presented.
Defendant appeals the December 15, 2017 order that memorialized those
determinations, arguing, among other things, that his child support obligation as
to the oldest child should have been terminated because he believes Colorado
law requires emancipation when a child turns nineteen. Even if defendant had
shown this to be true,1 in 2007 our courts obtained – and have not since
relinquished – modification and enforcement jurisdiction over the child support
obligation when both parties moved to New Jersey. Plaintiff continues to reside

in New Jersey, and, in light of that fact and defendant's failure to adequately
brief the matter, defendant has not demonstrated why our courts may not
continue to modify or enforce the child support obligation in these
circumstances and by reliance on New Jersey law.
We find insufficient merit in defendant's arguments to warrant further
discussion in a written opinion. R. 2:11-3(e)(1)(E).
Affirmed.
