Post-decree modifications attorney

A divorce order establishes custody, child support and spousal maintenance terms that each spouse must comply with. If you experience hardships or circumstances that hinder your obligation, you may file for a post-decree modification. If your ex-spouse fails to adhere with the terms of the divorce settlement, you may enforce the original order in court. Finally, if your ex-spouse attempts to have the order modified, we can argue against it. Contact us for more information.

Other post-decree modification triggers

A change in the conditions for either parent can trigger a modification. Relocation, a significant increase and decrease of income, a change in family structure are among changes that may cause the courts to revisit support orders or custody matters. While there are many circumstances that lead to post-decree litigation, the following are more common:

• Relocation: One of the parents to a shared parenting plan or the custodial parent may move out of the state. This generally happens in the event of a new job or transfer, or in special cases involving abuse by one spouse against the other.
• Child Support Modification: Probably the most typical post-decree modification is child support. This of course requires a change of circumstances.
• Spousal Support Modification: The most common reason for spousal support modification is a change in the income of you or your ex-spouse.
• Contempt Proceedings: Contempt proceedings may be appropriate when one of the parties in a divorce fails or refuses to comply with the divorce order.
