Skilled Representation in Modification Proceedings
When a divorce is finalized, the resulting order is based on the conditions that existed at the time of the divorce. If conditions change over time, however, you may be entitled to request a modification of certain terms of the divorce. There are specific criteria that must be met in order to modify an order. An experienced attorney can help you through this potentially complex process.
At the Niceville, Florida, Law Office of Michael D. Weinstock, P.A., we represent clients throughout the Florida Panhandle region who seek to modify their divorce agreements to better reflect the current situation, as well as client who oppose any changes. We know the law in these cases and we know how to make the most compelling argument to support your position.
Helping Clients with all Types of Modification Issues
Custody and Visitation: You can request a modification if your work schedule or a proposed relocation makes it difficult for you to manage the current agreement. You may also seek to modify custody if your child is being neglected or abused by the custodial parent.
Child Support: Modifications can be made if there is a significant change in either spouse's income or if the child reaches the age of majority. If you need to modify child support based on a change in income, speak to an attorney immediately. Requests are only retroactive to the date of the request, not the date of the change in circumstances.
Spousal Support: Spousal support can be modified due to a change in income for either spouse or a change in the marital status of the recipient. Modifications may also be granted if the recipient is cohabitating in a relationship similar to marriage.
Domestication of Agreements: In some cases, a person moves to Florida after being divorced in another state. We can help you certify the divorce agreement in Florida so it remains valid after you move.
