Family Law Attorneys for Men

POST-JUDGMENT ISSUES

Months or years after a family law case has closed, clients may discover that a modification to support or custody orders needs to be made to suit the best interests of the involved parties and children. This is post-judgment modification.

Sterling Law Office family law attorneys are highly qualified, well-trained advocates of post-judgment modifications and other family law matters. Some post-judgment modifications on which we represent our clients are:

Alimony and spousal support changes: Modifications involving support orders are often highly contested issues. The courts frequently want documentation which shows evidence as to why the standing order should be changed. Child support can be increased or decreased due to substantial changes in parenting time and/or income of the parents. Changes in income of the former spouse also can affect the size and frequency of alimony / spousal support payments.

Change-of-domicile child custody: Many custody modifications stem from one parent's desire to move out of the state, or more than 100 miles from their current location. If the parent wants to move out of state or more than 100 miles away from the other parent, the modification must be handled through the courts. Relocation issues can be complex and may require documentation of reasons for the move, such as a new job or a new marriage. The Sterling Law Office legal team can help you gather all the important information to support or oppose a modification request.
