Changing Your Divorce Decree for Changing Times
Life is always changing. Following a divorce, you may get a new career opportunity or a job may require you to relocate. You may find yourself facing a family emergency somewhere out of state. Problems may arise when the parenting plan in your divorce decree cannot accommodate these changes. As a DuPage County divorce modification attorney, I can help you find efficient solutions that will best serve the needs of you and your children.
What Can Be Modified?
With the exception of spousal support, nearly every aspect of a divorce decree can be modified, including:
- Child custody and visitation — Custody refers to who has the authority to make major decisions for the child. Visitation refers to which parent has the child, when and under what circumstances.
- Child support — This issue involves how much a parent pays or receives to cover a child's basic expenses.
- Location — This issue involves the removal of a child to an out-of-state location after the divorce decree is finalized, and the effect that this move will have on the parenting plan.
As an Oakbrook Terrace divorce lawyer, I have the experience to modify divorce decrees to reflect the new reality of your situation.
Dedicated to Helping You Reach a Quick Settlement
Just as in divorce cases, post-divorce modifications will proceed more smoothly when things can be settled quickly outside of court. From my Oakbrook Terrace family law office, I will work to develop creative solutions that benefit everyone, so we can reach an agreement before bringing a petition to a judge.
