Post-Divorce Modifications
Life goes on after divorce, and just about everything in life is subject to change. Every aspect of your legal separation agreement or divorce settlement is enforceable as written, unless you take the appropriate legal action necessary for a formal change.
Our extensive experience and capable, efficient legal team are excellent resources for people seeking post-divorce modifications. We have a firm grasp of all relevant statutes and can adeptly assess whether you meet the requirements for a post-divorce modification. We take cases we know are likely to succeed, and advise people that do not meet requirements what they need to do in order to obtain the desired change in the future.
Our Perspective
The most common post-divorce modifications involve issues such as:
Child custody & visitation;
Child support; and,
Spousal support/alimony.
In order to petition for a post-divorce modification in North Carolina on these issues, you must be able to document a substantial change of circumstances since the entry of the prior order. Such a change might be:
Change in the needs of the children and/or spouse;
A job change or job loss that substantially alters the income of either parent;
Issues associated with parental relocation;
Remarriage;
Disability;
Major changes in medical or other needs of children of the marriage; and,
A child "aging out" for required payment of child support.
