We are trained mediators, but also have extensive litigation experience should your case require a trial.

Does Your Case Qualify for Modification?

Child support modifications are the most common and usually arise due to an increase or decrease in a parent's income. For an agreement to qualify for modification, a party must be able to demonstrate a substantial and continuing change in circumstances. We can help you determine if your case qualifies for modification.

The need for modification of a custody agreement is usually due to a significant change including living arrangements, relocation, child abuse or neglect. When a parent relocates there must be a plan in place to ensure both parents have extended time with their child. Also, a visitation agreement may be modified if there is evidence that the visitation schedule is in disarray.

Don't Be Taken Advantage Of-Contact an Experienced Attorney Today

If someone refuses to pay child or spousal support or follow the rules of a visitation agreement, they are guilty of contempt. If a party to your agreement is failing to follow the rules, you need an experienced attorney to ensure the agreement is enforced in a way that works for you and protects your rights. To discuss your situation with a skilled attorney, call 860-331-8541 now.
