Court Order Modifications

Los Angeles Divorce Attorney handles Post-Divorce Court Orders & Modifications

When a divorce decree becomes final, it establishes the new rules between you and your now former spouse. Adhering to the agreement will help you move on with the new chapter in your life. However, circumstances may change, requiring modifications to that divorce decree.

The most common post-divorce decree modification requests center around child custody, child support and spousal support. Those provisions usually can only be changed if there is a substantial change in circumstances since the prior orders.

Child Custody Modifications

If a custodial parent is planning to move to a different city or state with their children, the parenting plan and custody orders will have to be modified.

Child Support and Spousal Support Modifications

A change in a party’s income may warrant a modification of the amount of child support and/or spousal support that a party is paying or receiving.

Mediation and Negotiation Used to Resolve Modification Disputes

Our firm recognizes the value in mediating then litigating if necessary all aspects of a divorce, including post divorce modifications. If the Voluntary Settlement Process has been effective in resolving your divorce, it may work again for any modifications. Emotions may run high, particularly in a situation where a child may be moving with the other parent. We focus on the facts of the case and strive for a cooperative resolution.
