Child support amounts can typically be changed only upon a showing of material and substantial change in circumstances, such as a significant increase or decrease in your income (i.e. losing your job. Contact our lawyers today to discuss achieving a child support modification. Alimony can also be modified or terminated based upon either your marital agreement and/or upon a showing of material and significant changes in circumstances for either party. An example of this is when your former spouse remarries; this may be cause for termination of alimony payments. There are several situations that may give rise to a request to modify a child support or visitation order, including:
- Relocation of one of the parents; this could give rise to a change of custody or at the very least a change in visitation to accommodate the parents' and child's schedule.
- A change in work schedule of a parent may give rise to a new schedule for practical purposes.
- An unsafe environment may also give rise to a modification of a child custody or visitation. For example, if a new boyfriend or girlfriend uses drugs, is abusive or presents a danger to the children, then it may be possible to obtain a change in child custody or supervised visitation.
Cases involving contempt of court orders, paternity matters, removal of children to other states, changes in custody and post-divorce modifications of child support and other financial matters are not only complex from a legal standpoint, but also emotionally grueling and financially challenging. Furthermore, the most difficult of all cases presented before the Probate & Family Court involve contested custody disputes. If your custody arrangement is unbearable, your ex-partner does not abide by existing court orders, or facts and circumstances have changed requiring a modification of your divorce agreement, it is critical that you select a firm that concentrates in the field of family law, understands your rights and all options available, and will obtain an outcome in your case which best protects your rights.
