When can modifications be made to marital issues?

Once divorce is decided on, couples will have a process to go through. This process can be emotionally draining since they are ending their marriage. During these cases, spouses will have to talk about various issues to make decisions for their situation post-divorce. This can lead them to enter into court sessions to present their case for modifications. At this time, a judge can preside over the case to decide if the current circumstances warrant a change. For most of these situations, there must be a valid reason for a change. Child support can be changed due to a change in a custody arrangement, income or loss of employment. This can greatly affect a parent’s ability to pay child support to the other parent. Custody arrangements can warrant a change based on a variety of circumstances. This can include a change in a parent’s work schedule, exposure to third parties or health conditions of a parent or child. If a child is acting aggressively due to their time with one parent, this may also warrant a change. They may be acting out due to their parent’s treatment of them. These situations should be investigated. Alimony can be changed as well. This can be affected by illness, loss of job, dependency and more. For these situations, a judge should make a final decision on the matter for the couple.

What are marital issues?

Marital issues are important factors in the divorce process. They need to be resolved in order for the spouses to carry on with separate lives. These issues can include alimony and the division of assets. When children are involved in the family, marital issues can also include child custody arrangements and child support. Before a couple goes their separate ways, these issues need to be resolved so that they know what orders to follow. Court-mandated decisions need to be followed. If a spouse fails to follow the right order, they may be held in contempt of court. They can face penalties for failing to follow a court mandate regarding marital issues. Therefore, they must do so in order to avoid facing consequences after divorce decisions are made.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I hired Susan to represent me in a divorce matter where I was fighting for custody and to limit my wife's equitable share of our assets. I won custody of our son, kept the marital residence, kept my professional practice, kept my building and paid less than half to my wife. This was after a long-term marriage. She could persuade the court that equitable is not equal and sometimes the man does deserve to win!

I first must say that I had been represented by two prior attorneys both of whom had simply taken my money and left me nothing to show for it in my custody case. They kept telling me what they were doing for me but I found out they were lying. Susan on the other hand had gotten me temporary custody and support for my children and myself within two months of hiring her. I cannot say enough about her.

‐ Craig

After talking to a few other attorneys, I hired Susan to represent me in my divorce and custody dispute. I was reluctant to go with her because she was the cheapest out of all the other attorneys I met with, but I'm so glad I did. I am 100% positive no one else would have done such a great job with my case as Susan and her staff. Her work is quality, her staff is reliable and her character is honorable. There...

‐ Linda

I had a very difficult case where I had already burned through two attorneys who were unable to get me custody of my children and complete my divorce. Susan was able to rapidly work out an agreement and not let it just malinger on like my previous experiences. She was also considerate of my financial situation unlike all of the other lawyers I had spoken to. I highly recommend her if you want complete and caring service with an in-depth knowledge of...
