Most post-divorce decree modification requests center around child custody, child support, and spousal support. Our attorneys also have significant experience assisting clients to enforce their judgments and orders.
Change of Circumstances
While there is no formal definition of what constitutes a change of circumstances, some courts may consider the following a change of circumstances that may qualify for a court ordered modification:
- Relocation or move away (especially to another state)
- Loss of job or increase or decrease in earnings
- Unsuitable environment for children
- New spouse or mate
- Unforeseen expenses, including medical expenses
- Drug or alcohol use or abuse
These are just a few of the situations that may be considered a significant change of circumstances, thus warranting a post-divorce modification for certain court orders, such as child custody and visitation orders, child support orders, or spousal support orders.
Orange County California Post-Divorce Modification Attorney
Our post-divorce modification attorneys understand that a change of circumstances can be devastating. We will work with you to fully comprehend the scope of your problems, and we will focus our efforts on addressing those concerns.
One thing to be aware of is that even though a change of circumstances may have occurred in the past, in most cases, a child or spousal support order will likely not be retroactively modified. That means your new support payments will begin with the new order, and if you are the obligor (party ordered to pay) you may still be responsible for any delinquencies that occurred prior to the new order becoming effective.
