Not all aspects of divorce arrangements can be readily modified. For example, you are not going to be able to make changes to a property settlement that was reached over a decade ago very easily. However, there are many aspects that can be changed more readily.
Have you experienced a change in circumstances?
You have the ability to pursue modification of child support, child custody and visitation orders by showing that there has been a substantial change in circumstances since the original order was entered. Of course, substantial changes can come in many forms. Some examples include:
- A drastic, unanticipated increase or decrease in income
- A change in the needs of the child
- A change in the family dynamic, such as remarriage or the birth of a new child
- A situation that could potentially endanger the child
- The emancipation of a child
When you come to us, we will take the time to learn about the change in circumstance that has occurred. Once we understand the details, we will give you straight answers about your options. If we believe that seeking a custody change or another type of modification is not an option, we will tell you so.
However, if we believe that a modification is possible, we will pursue it in a manner that is not only effective, but efficient and cost-conscious.
