Modification Attorney

It is important to know your parenting rights. If you need to change or enforce the terms of your agreement, our family law attorneys can help.

We regularly represent parents for modification matters that include:

• Modifying custody orders to support or defend against relocation
• Modifying custody orders due to suspected child abuse, drug use or other criminal charges
• Modifying support orders due to a change in salary
• Modifying support orders to unexpected health care needs

Should your former spouse violate either custody or support order, we will fight to defend your rights in court. We have an established record in securing back child support payments for our clients. We also use the law to hold parents responsible for violating the terms of their parenting agreements.

Child support and alimony / spousal maintenance agreements under certain circumstances can be changed and amended. Courts understand that circumstances change after a divorce. For this reason, a process of modification is available, so families can amend the terms of child and spousal support. Contact an attorney who knows about modifications and terminations and can see you safely guide you through the legal obstacle.

Effective Enforcement Solutions

Violations of court orders are common in the areas of child support, visitation, spousal maintenance (alimony), and other settlement agreements. When one party fails to comply with the terms of a court order, the other party may petition the court to hold them in contempt.

Once a contempt finding is made, the court has significant enforcement tools available, including:

• Ordering the non-compliant party to jail
• Garnishing wages or tax refunds
• Restricting or modifying custody and visitation rights previously granted

Legally Terminate Support Agreements

The most common reason spousal maintenance is terminated is that the payee is now living with a partner (married or living as if they are married). The courts consider numerous reasons for termination of maintenance, contact us to learn more.
