Even after a divorce is finalized, sometimes there are issues that come up after the divorce that need resolution. Often, attorneys refer to these as post divorce modification issues. Typically they involve children or money.
At the Tennessee law firm of Rosemary Escue Phillips, we have been handling post divorce modification issues for almost 30 years. Our law firm is known for having legal professionals who are honest, compassionate and experienced.
We Handle All Post Divorce Modifications
Our law firm handles the full range of post divorce modifications. We handle everything from custody and visitation to complex financial modifications. However, there are typically three different modifications that we encounter on a regular basis including:
- Parenting Plan: The first type of modification that our firm tends to see involves custody or the parenting plan. It is only natural that as your child grows and changes, his or her needs will change as well. That may need to be reflected in how the parenting plan is structured. However, in order to modify your parenting plan, you will need to show a "material and substantial change of circumstances" in the home in which the child resides. Further, that change has to affect the child. One typical basis for a modified parenting plan is age progression. Let our Goodlettsville modification attorneys help you to argue for the parenting plan that is best for your child.
- Alimony: Another type of modification that our firm handles deals with alimony or spousal support. In these cases, one party usually files a petition for contempt because he or she is not receiving the payment set out in the divorce papers. Our law firm can help you fight for your alimony, or lower the alimony payments.
- Child Support: The last typical modification that we are asked to do involves child support. The law states that if there is a 15% variance in the obligors salary, child support can be modified to reflect the new numbers.
