Common Modifications

There can be many reasons to need a modification to a divorce decree. A loss of a job can lead to an increase in child support or a child support payment reduction, depending on whose job was lost. If the parent with custody consistently puts the child in danger, a child custody modification may be necessary.

The most common issue involves a parent who is supposed to have regular visitation does not take it. Child support payments are dependent on a specific visitation schedule, and if the visitation does not occur, a child support modification can return balance to the agreement.

Relocation is another common cause of modifications. If either parent moves far away, a visitation schedule can become nearly impossible to fulfill. The two parents must negotiate a set of child custody and child support modifications -- our lawyer can help get you the arrangement best for you and your children.
