Situations change; it is a fact of life. You may have gotten a new job, moved to another state or even been laid off. Whatever the reason for your change of circumstances, it is important to make sure that your divorce decree and related custody and support orders accurately reflect your current situation.
At Green Cordonnier & House LLP, we help parents pursue post-decree modifications of family law orders when there has been a substantial change in circumstances. We are AV-rated Preeminent* by Martindale-Hubbell and provide each and every client with the personalized service and skilled representation he or she deserves.

Modifications
In order for modifications to be granted, there must be a substantial change in circumstances. Changes that often warrant modifications include changes to the economic status of a parent, which have an effect on child support or a relocation that affects the existing parenting plan.
Due to the retirement of the baby boom generation, it is becoming more common to see cases involving retirees who no longer have the income to keep paying the same amount of child support.
Enforcement
Is your ex failing to pay his or her fair share of child support or violating the terms of your custody agreement? It may be in your interest to file a motion to enforce, a motion for contempt or both. We can help you pursue these options and ensure your case moves as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Likewise, we are able to defend against these motions as well. For example, if you are being asked to pay for medical care that you believe is unnecessary or loss of income is preventing you from making your child support payments, we can defend you against enforcement or contempt motions and even help you seek modification if it will benefit your situation.
