Reasons to Modify Your Divorce Order
While a couple may reach an agreement regarding support and custody during their divorce, situations can change as time progresses. Regarding child custody modifications, you may wish to seek a modification with your order if a life-changing circumstance occurs.
Common Changes That May Warrant a Modification:
- Remarriage
- Disability
- Child's Age
- Loss of Job / Income
- Parental Relocation
- Increased Income
- Additional Dependent Children
You may also be permitted to change your child support order if your circumstances change, as well. The court takes various items into consideration prior to determining the final amount of child custody.
Key Factors Influencing Child Support Amount:
- Your child's educational needs
- Standard of living your child would have if you and your ex-spouse didn’t divorce
- Custodial parent's financial resources
- Child's financial resources
- Noncustodial parent's financial resources
- Child's physical and emotional wellbeing
If you or your ex-spouse is paying alimony and your or their circumstances change, I can assist with alimony modification orders. I can review your current order and determine if your or their situation requires an alimony modification.
