  • When Post Decree Modifications Are Warranted
    There are many circumstances in the life of a family that call for existing legal agreements to be changed. These circumstances include:
  • Remarriage of one or both former spouses. This can alter spousal and child support orders and may impact custody and visitation agreements if one household becomes a more or less stable environment.
  • Children getting older. This can impact child custody and visitation as well as child support, as expenses for older children can often change. Additionally, the wishes of teenage children may enter into decisions made on their behalf.
  • Relocation of a former spouse. If one party would like to move to another area for a job opportunity or another reason, child custody and visitation orders will need to be altered.
  • Child expenses change significantly. For example, if a child becomes ill and requires expensive medical treatment, the non-custodial parent may be required to pay additional child support.
