Making Changes to Divorce Orders
Prior to a divorce, lives are constantly changing. This is true after divorce as well. The difference is that, after a divorce, such changes may warrant modifications to divorce orders.
At the Law Offices of Richard D. Goff, our attorneys have the ability to assist with post-divorce modifications of child custody, child support and spousal maintenance. In order to make modifications, the change in circumstances must be significant enough to warrant a change to the support order. We have the experience necessary to work with our clients to determine in which cases it makes sense to petition the court for modification and which it does not.
With more than 40 years of experience on our side, we have the depth of knowledge to achieve the goals of our clients. Contact us today to discuss changes to your divorce orders.
Modification of Child Custody
Our lawyers move quickly in cases in which changes are required because of potential child endangerment issues. Those issues may involve concerns about abusive situations, evidence that the other parent is driving drunk with children in the car, drug use or other criminal activity.
Thankfully, not all requests are based on emergencies. Still, we are prepared to move forward with other requests, including those involving relocation to another city or state.
Modification of Child Support or Spousal Maintenance
Changes to child support or spousal maintenance typically require a substantial change in income, either a major increase or a major decrease.
Unfortunately, many change requests are due to job loss or movement to a position that pays less. Other requests are based on a promotion or a large pay increase. We will take great care to see that support and maintenance are modified accordingly.
