Post-Judgment Issues

Post-Judgment Modification Lawyer in Okemos

After the conclusion of an initial family law case, months or years down the road, individuals may discover that a modification to a support or custody order needs to be made to suit the best interests of the involved parties and their children. This is called post-judgment modification.

Below are some of the types of post-judgment modifications that we handle. Contact our office today to discuss these or other modifications further with a member of our legal team.

Alimony / Spousal Support and Child Support Modification

Modifications involving support orders are often highly contested issues. The courts often request documentation that provides insight 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 spouses also can affect the size and frequency of alimony / spousal support payments.

Out-of-State 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 is looking 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. Our firm can help you gather all of the necessary information that supports your modification request.
