When Should I Make A Change?
Changes in your life such as illness, loss of a job or other economic factors make it necessary to request that court modifies your agreement or court order. Some post-divorce modifications are fairly routine, such as an increase or decrease to child support because of a change in one parent’s salary. Other modifications, such as when one parent wishes to move with the children, can be emotionally charged, highly contested battles.
We can help with a variety of revisions to your divorce agreement, which include, but are not limited to:
- Child support modifications
- Spousal support (alimony) modifications
- Other financial disputes
- Child visitation revisions
- Child custody changes
