A job layoff, changing needs of a minor child or other significant changes may warrant a child support modification. In addition, you may be entitled to a review of your child support award or obligation if it has been at least three years since your last child support order was entered.
If you have grounds for a modification, we can make all necessary filings with the court, negotiate on your behalf to seek a resolution of your child support dispute, and vigorously protect your rights and interests at any necessary hearings.
We can help if you are seeking to modify custody or visitation. To modify an existing order, you must prove that there has been a significant change of circumstances. You must also prove that the requested change of custody or the modification of a visitation schedule is in the best interests of the minor child.
Changes to a visitation schedule are sought on a variety of grounds by parents, including changes to a work schedule, the changing needs of children and other factors. While minor or moderate changes to a visitation schedule are more easily obtained than a change of custody, there are a number of reasons why a change of custody may be warranted. If your child’s physical or emotional welfare is in jeopardy for any reason, contact us immediately for assistance.
A Concord modifications attorney can be an immense help in navigating alterations to a previously established divorce agreement. These attorneys understand the nuances of family law and how it affects post-divorce modifications.
They can provide support that extends to any modifications needed with child custody, child support, visitation, or any other post-divorce agreements that already exist.
Some of the most critical areas they could help with include:
This might mean that instead of a child sharing weekdays with both parents, they may need to split up the time based on weeks and weekends if one parent will be moving out of the school district.
Support orders can be flexible in order to ensure that support will always be there for divorced couples and their children, even when the family’s needs are changing.
The attorney’s role in this process will be to prepare all legal documents, represent their clients during the hearing, and articulate how the new version of the post-divorce agreement will be necessary for all stakeholders involved under the new circumstances.
They can also help to file the required petitions, advise their clients on legal requirements, and ensure that all actions within the process of requesting a modification avoid being misconstrued as contempt of court.
