Sacramento, California, Attorneys for Post-Divorce Modifications
Many issues can arise in the years after a divorce with children, requiring one parent or the other to seek the modification of court orders that established child custody and child support payments. In a volatile economy, job losses and other financial setbacks can make this an especially important right and legal process.
We can evaluate your situation and efficiently determine whether you have a solid case for obtaining a modification of support or custody. Because all California child support orders are enforceable until formally modified — and care or neglect issues impacting children can have extremely serious consequences, we urge you to take fast action and learn your legal options now.
Reducing or Increasing Child Support Obligations
Financial changes and pressures are the most common reasons fathers and mothers need to seek modifications of child support. If you have undergone a substantial change in circumstances that decreased your income and ability to pay — or you have become aware that your ex-spouse's income has significantly increased — we will strive to obtain a needed modification as quickly as the courts allow.
Modifying Custody Orders in Children's Best Interests
Situations that can justify a change in child custody or parenting time/visitation include:
- Either a custodial or non-custodial parent's desire to relocate
- Newly developed, adverse conditions in the custodial home such as domestic violence, a parent's substance abuse or a child's escalating behavior problems
- The clearly expressed desire of the child for a change in his or her living arrangement
