SAN JOSE POST-DIVORCE MODIFICATION LAWYER

If your current child custody or child support agreement no longer fits your circumstances, the Dominion Law Group, LLP in San Jose, California, can help you seek a modification of the agreement. Modifications in child support and some visitation matters are routine. We can often obtain these quickly and at reasonable expense. Depending on the circumstances, other types of modifications such as those involving child custody can become quite contentious and involve extensive legal work to resolve.

EXAMPLES OF POST-DIVORCE MODIFICATIONS

Child Support Modifications

• If you can no longer afford to make your current child support payments because you have lost your job or taken a lower paying job, you can petition the court to reduce your payments.

• If the payer of child support is earning substantially more money and can afford to pay more child support, you can petition the court to increase child support payments.

• If a child custody or visitation has changed, you can petition the court to change child support.

• If the needs of a child have changed, you can petition the court to change child support.

Child Custody/Visitation Modifications

• If your spouse is planning to move out of the area with your children, you can petition the court to prevent the move or to change visitation.

• If a custodial parent has experienced a change in circumstances that makes him or her less fit — or more fit — for child custody or visitation, you can petition the court to change child custody or visitation.

Spousal Support Modifications

• If your ability as the supporting spouse to pay spousal support has changed, you can petition the court to decrease spousal support.

• If your financial needs have changed as the receiving spouse, you can petition the court to increase or decrease spousal support.

Property settlement modifications

• If property was omitted from the property settlement, you can petition the court to divide the property.
