Last updated on August 21, 2024
Life rarely stands still after a divorce. As circumstances evolve, you may need to modify an existing court order.
For over 35 years, Nemiroff & Cohen, LLP, has been a beacon of support for families across Encino and the San Fernando Valley. Attorney Gail Cohen brings 35-plus years of experience to every case and is a board-certified family lawyer by the California Board of Legal Specialization.
When Life Takes An Unexpected Turn
Modifications usually become necessary when a significant change in circumstances affects custody or support. Our team is adept at handling various situations, including:
- Child support modifications: Aimed to reflect a change in income or the child’s needs, or to reflect a substantial change in child custody
- Child custody modifications: The best interests of the child can change over time, and that may require changes in their living conditions or the amount of time they spend with each parent
- Spousal support modification: Entails major life events that may warrant alimony adjustments, such as change in income, job loss, incarceration, retirement or a dependent spouse’s remarriage
Every legal issue related to divorce comes with unique legal challenges. So, no matter your situation, don’t risk your financial future by attempting to navigate modifications alone.
What To Expect During The Modification Process
Modifying a divorce judgment requires demonstrating a material change in circumstances to the court. An experienced attorney will:
- Evaluate your situation to determine if modification is warranted
- Gather evidence to support your case
- Draft and file the necessary legal documents
- Negotiate with the other party when possible
- Represent you in court if litigation becomes necessary
This process can be intricate in terms of the amount of time required. However, by entrusting your case to our skilled lawyer, you’re investing in a smoother, more efficient path to resolution.
