Help to Deal With Changing Circumstances
When circumstances change to the extent that an order of custody, support or visitation is no longer fair or workable, it may be necessary to seek a formal change. The modification of divorce judgments or settlements is often required when one parent relocates, encounters financial difficulty or experiences another life-altering event.
My name is Laurin Haddad. I am an experienced in obtaining post-judgment modification to orders of visitation, custody and support even in the most complex situation. I can help you understand your rights and evaluate your options for seeking a new arrangement that works for you and your family.
Reasons to Ask the Court to Modify an Order
I can help you seek a modification when certain conditions are met, such as:
- You believe your child's other parent is no longer fit or your child is at risk
- Your child's other parent is incarcerated or is put into a mental institution
- You or your child's other parent moves out of the area
- Your child develops special medical needs
- You or your child's other parent experiences a significant decrease (or increase) in income
It is important to understand that the modification of custody and child support orders is designed to address changing circumstances, not to reopen issues that you believe were decided unfairly in the original divorce. If you need help to adjust your legal rights and obligations to meet a changing reality, I will be there to listen, to guide you and to fight for you in court, if necessary.
