Post-Judgment Modifications

Ventura County Lawyers for Post-Divorce Modifications

Even when you are well represented in your divorce and make the best possible decisions, you may find yourself in need of a capable, efficient family law lawyer again down the line. This is especially common for parents who divorce or legally separate when children are young. If your circumstances — or those of your children or ex-spouse — have changed substantially, you may be able to obtain a modification.

California law provides specific measures for seeking post-judgment modifications of orders for child support, child custody, visitation and certain other outcomes of divorce. Whether you are a Ventura or Los Angeles County resident or you have moved but have orders in place here, contact us for an assessment of your case and help taking legal action.

Experienced in Obtaining Modifications on Financial Grounds

The most common reasons for seeking post-judgment modifications are financial ones. For example:

• A person paying child support may suffer a job loss or business failure that prevents payment of a previously ordered amount.
• A custodial parent receiving support may become aware that the payer's income has substantially improved, justifying an increase in child support.
• A child may develop health problems or other needs that require additional financial support.

Dealing With Move-Aways, Domestic Violence and Parenting Problems

Other changes may prompt you to seek a modification of child custody or visitation. The attorneys of Van Sickle & Associates, PC have the experience to help you navigate potentially complex legal processes when:

• Either parent is considering a move-away, creating a need to negotiate or litigate whether children can move and how existing custody/visitation orders must change.
• A child is not thriving in the custodial parent's care — due to demonstrable factors such as lack of supervision, substance abuse or violence in the home.
• A child expresses a strong, considered desire for a change in custody.
