Modification of orders

Many times our clients require a modification of the orders that have been previously entered in a case.  For example, if there is an income change in a party, modification of a child support order or maintenance order may be warranted and necessary.  Also child related orders dealing with parental responsibilities or parenting time/ visitation may be necessary.  Our firm carefully reviews the previous orders already entered in a court case, the change in the party or parties’ financial situation or parental situation, and then considers the cost associated with pursuing the modification of the order in order to determine whether pursuing the modification is recommended.  If there is a change in the circumstances warranting or requiring a modification of a support order, it is best to seek legal representation as soon as possible to assess your situation as any modification of a court order would only be applicable after the appropriate court document has been filed in your court case.
