Atlanta Family Law Attorney
Divorce Lawyer Handling Modifications of Court Orders
It is a natural part of life for circumstances to change, and fortunately there is legal recourse in these situations in order to alter the original terms of your divorce agreement. By talking to you about your particular situation and your options in this regard, an attorney at our firm can help you make the right choice about retaining legal counsel and pursuing a modification. We take on a limited number of cases to ensure we can devote the time and energy to representing your interests to the best of our ability.
When there is a change in circumstances following a divorce or a court order for spousal or child support, a person may ask the courts for a modification. A modification would allow for a person to request either an increase or decrease in the amount of alimony or child support paid. If a judge agrees to modify an existing support order it would then become legally binding in the state of Georgia.
There are many reasons why a person might seek a modification of spousal support in Atlanta. The most common reasons are:
- Spouse receiving support re-marries or is cohabiting with a significant other
- Spouse receiving support fails to make an effort at achieving self-sufficiency
- Supporting spouse enters into retirement
Some common reasons for modifications of child support include:
- Custodial parents income drastically increases or decreases
- Parent ordered to pay support involuntary loses employment
- Paying parent has new obligation to support a child from another marriage or relationship
- Change in the amount of time spent with child by non-custodial parent
- Change in the medical or educational circumstances of supported child
