Child Support Modification Attorneys
For a child support modification, we would need to establish that there has been a significant change of circumstances warranting a modification of the child support order. Likewise, in defending a request for child support modification we would need to establish there has not been a significant change in circumstances to warrant a child support modification, or that a modification to child support would create an undue hardship on you.
Some examples of changes in circumstances that could give rise to a child support modification include the following:
- One party loses his or her job, is laid off or experiences a change in his or her income
- The child reaches majority
- You increase visitation for more than 128 days per year (essentially giving you shared custody)
Contact an experienced child support modification attorney at the Norman Law Firm to discuss your situation.
Child Custody Modification Lawyer
Child custody modifications or requests for access and visitation adjustments must be able to demonstrate to the court that such a change would be in the best interests of the child, or that a significant change of circumstances warrants a change in a child custody order or visitation schedule. Some examples could include: the child reaching the age of majority, remarriage or a significant change in one parent's work schedule.
