West Palm Beach to Coral Springs — Custody Modification Attorneys
As children get older, they may prefer a different custody arrangement. A change in living circumstances, a parent getting remarried and many other factors can be used to justify a change in the custody and timesharing plan of your child. We take the time to understand your situation and help you protect your interests in modification proceedings.
Child Support Modifications
The loss of a job, health problems or a significant improvement in financial circumstances can lead to a change in the allocation of child support obligations. In most cases, one parent becomes unemployed or is demoted and can no longer keep up with their child support payments. The State of Florida will not allow you to stop paying child support simply because you have no money. You must seek a modification. Even if your former spouse does not complain now, the money you owe can quickly become unmanageable. You should act quickly to have the court modify your child support order.
In some cases, the allocation of costs has been altered, justifying a change in child support. As health care costs have grown, if one parent is bearing the burden of that obligation, he or she may be entitled to a change in support to cover the new expense. We can help you gather the necessary information to protect your rights.
Modifying Alimony
A new statute covers situations where one parent becomes involved in a "supportive relationship." In the past, courts would look to remarriage to decide if one parent's financial situation had improved. Now, the court can look into whether a spouse is in a relationship where he or she can count on financial support. Alimony that would have changed upon the recipient's remarriage can now be changed based on the reality of the circumstances.
We can help you with any proposed post-divorce modifications. Contact us online, call 561-948-4769 or toll free at 877-645-5762.
