When evaluating modification proposals for child custody, child support, spousal support, or visitation, the court considers various factors such as the best interests of the child, changes in circumstances, and the ability of each party to provide for the child's needs. It's crucial to present a compelling case supported by evidence.

    Grounds For Modifications

    You must show a material change in your circumstances to obtain a modification of visitation, child support or other order. Things such as job loss, remarriage, illness or disability, jail sentences or a move-away are common reasons to modify an agreement. Whatever your reason for seeking or opposing a modification, our family law attorney can help you accomplish your goals.

    Advice About Enforcement

    In some instances, parents become unable to make child support payments and simply stop. A parent may become chronically late when picking up the child because of a change in work hours. A third scenario involves unreported parental relocation. In all these situations, it would be better to seek a modification that reflects your changed circumstances. If you do not, the court can enforce the original orders with negative consequences to you.
