Experienced Family Law Attorneys for Divorce Agreement Modification & Enforcement
The terms of your divorce are not necessarily final. Your life can change drastically in the years following your divorce, and the terms of your divorce might need to change as well.
Understanding the Need for Divorce Agreement Modifications
At Reynolds Family Law, LLC, we have over 28 years of experience in helping people alter their divorce terms to reflect their current living situation. We also ensure the enforcement of these terms, so that your ex-spouse cannot find a way around them.
Modifications to your divorce agreement can happen amicably or through a dispute. Generally, we find that strong agreements that happen through professional, face-to-face negotiation in the presence of a family law attorney yield the best results, and both parties are more likely to adhere to the terms of the agreement. Modifications can happen for a variety of reasons, but most deal with issues of child custody or child support. These reasons include:
Job Changes
New jobs that require longer hours or more travel impact a parent’s ability to spend time with a child, which could lead to custody alterations.
Remarriage
When you or your former spouse gets remarried, it could impact the child’s life and the amount of money that they are able to pay in child support.
Parental negligence or irresponsibility
If you have reason to believe that your ex-spouse is abusive to your child in any way, or has developed problems with alcohol, drugs or irresponsibility, we work with you to alter their custodial and visitation privileges.
Change in needs
Once a child gets to a certain age, he or she might no longer require the same expenses in child support.
Change in income
If you have lost your job, or if your former spouse suddenly sees a large jump in income, you can seek to alter the terms of your child support agreement.
Relocation
If you or your ex-spouse are looking to move to a different city, this could be grounds to change your custody terms.
