What Is A Divorce Modification And Why Might You Need One?
A divorce modification is a legal change to an existing divorce decree. These changes are often necessary when life circumstances shift in significant ways. Common reasons for seeking a modification include:
- A substantial change in income or employment
- A child’s evolving educational, medical or emotional needs
- Relocation of a parent (if relocating a substantial distance away or out of state)
- Noncompliance with existing court orders
Our divorce attorneys can evaluate your situation and determine whether a modification is appropriate and achievable.
