Charlotte Post Divorce Modifications Attorney

Post-divorce modifications of agreements or court orders may happen via agreement or via disputed legal proceedings. In many ways, the process of getting post-divorce modifications is much like the original process of getting divorced. If your original divorce was relatively conflict-free, perhaps you can arrange post-divorce modifications with a low amount of conflict. On the other hand, if your divorce was full of tension and strong disagreements, then you may find the post-divorce modification process to be difficult as well.

When Are Post-Divorce Modifications Possible?

The most common types of post-divorce modifications relate to:

• Child support: If one parent's income goes up or down, the amount of child support may change. When the child reaches the age of majority, you may have to formally modify the child support order to conclude child support payments. If the child's educational or medical needs change, one parent may apply for increased child support.
• Child custody and visitation: If the parent with primary custody wants to relocate out of state with the child, the noncustodial parent may object. Or, the noncustodial parent may approve but wish to change the visitation order. Parents may also want to change child custody or visitation arrangements if they suspect unfit parenting practices such as alcohol or drug abuse or neglect or abuse of the child.

Post-divorce modifications of alimony (or spousal support) orders are less common but do come up occasionally. If one of the former spouses finds him or herself in greatly changed financial circumstances, he or she may wish to ask the court to decrease or increase a spousal maintenance order.
