Modification of Child Support and Spousal Maintenance

The modification of child and spousal support by the courts requires a material change in the finances or circumstances of a parent or family. The best interests of the child can also lead to modification.

Material Changes Can Include:

Relocation or remarriage
A change in income or employment
Dangerous or negligent behavior by a parent, including substance abuse and dangerous behavior
Disability or illness of a parent or child

We are skilled at gathering supportive information, presenting your modification case in hearings and in court and obtaining new and fair support terms.
