At the time the divorce decree is issued, the court will also issue orders on things like child custody, visitation, child support and spousal maintenance. When a significant change in circumstances occurs, one party can go to court to seek a modification of a family law order.
At Green Law Office, P.A., we help our clients obtain modifications of child custody, parenting time, child support and spousal maintenance. Many modification efforts are routine and we can achieve these in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Others may require substantial legal work to accomplish.
For more information and a case evaluation, contact our firm.
We represent parents in matters involving:
- Modifications in child support
- Modifications in spousal maintenance
- Modifications in custody and parenting time
- Proposed child relocations
Obtaining a Modification in Child Support
A change in a parent's income resulting from a layoff or job promotion may be significant enough to warrant a modification in a child support order. A change in the child's daycare or health care expenses can also cause a parent to seek a change in child support. If there is a change in the amount of parenting time the paying parent is exercising, that might be another basis for modification of a child support order.
As with every legal effort, preparation provides the key to success. Our firm will carefully review the facts in your case and then go to court to achieve your goals as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Custody and Parenting Time Modifications
Sometimes it is possible to negotiate a modified parenting time schedule or use cooperative law methods to achieve a solution which is mutually-acceptable to both parents. Other child custody and parenting time matters can become very contentious; for example, when a teenage child wishes to live with the other parent or when the parent with primary custody is seeking to relocate with a child.
Green Law Office, P.A. has substantial experience in highly contested custody cases. Lawyer Pamela L. Green will explain the legal issues that will shape the outcome of your case and the potential legal costs. Based on your direction, we will work tenaciously to achieve your goals while protecting your rights at all times, keeping in mind the best interests of your children.
