Reasons for Modifications

Changes in Income or Financial Status

Life can bring unexpected financial shifts. Lost jobs or salary changes impact your ability to meet previous family court obligations. You can make modification requests based on these income changes, seeking to adjust alimony or child support orders. Our team can help you demonstrate your income fluctuations and build a case for altering existing court terms.

Relocation or Changes in Living Circumstances

Moving to a new city or a different state affects family court orders. Relocation can disrupt visitation schedules and living arrangements, prompting a need for order adjustments. Changes such as a job transfer or the need to care for a family member may require new arrangements. We can help you gather the documentation you need to prove how your circumstances require new agreements.

Changes in a Child's Needs

Children's needs evolve, impacting custody and support agreements. A child's education or healthcare requirements may shift, necessitating more time with one parent or additional support. As children grow, their needs may change, too. These changes necessitate reviewing and potentially modifying existing custody and support agreements. Our team can help you present the new circumstances to a court, working toward an arrangement that better fits your life.

Modification Process

Motioning the court for a modification involves several key steps:

1. Determine the specific changes you must make to the existing family court order. 
2. Draft a formal motion requesting these changes. This document must clearly outline the reasons for the requested modifications and include all relevant details. 
3. Once your attorney has specified this information in a motion, we file the motion with the court that issued the original order.
4. After filing, the court serves the other party involved a copy of the motion. This step is crucial as it notifies them of the proposed changes. 
5. The court will generally schedule a hearing where both parties present their cases. The judge will review the motion, consider any evidence, and make a decision.

Several legal requirements and documents are necessary when seeking court order modifications. Our team helps by reviewing the original court order and any relevant state laws involved. Then, we help you collect any documents that support your need for modification. Such documentation could include income statements, employment records, medical reports, monthly expenses and more.
