Protecting Your Rights After a Substantial Change in Circumstances
In order to modify any part of your divorce agreement, you must be able to prove to a court's satisfaction that there has been a substantial change of circumstances. There are a number of factors that could classify as a substantial change of circumstances, including:
- The loss of one spouse's job
- The desire of one parent to move out of the state
- The remarriage of one spouse
- The disability of a family member
Further, any changes in child custody or visitation must be in the child's best interest. Some modification cases, particularly those involving the potential relocation of a parent, can be exceedingly difficult. Whether you are seeking to modify your divorce order or if you oppose such a change, our law firm will closely review your case and work diligently to achieve your goals.
