Routine Post-Decree Modifications
Child support payments are based on a number of factors including the incomes of the parents and the living arrangements of the child. When there is a significant change in any of the factors, one parent can seek a modification of child support payments from the court. A layoff, a promotion, a temporary disability or other event resulting in a significant change in income (even temporarily) may be sufficient cause to seek a change in the child support level.
In these situations, our firm can go to court and fight for a modification on your behalf. Typically, routine modifications can be obtained in a timely and cost-efficient manner and on an affordable basis.
Contested and Non-Routine Modifications
Other circumstances can be more contentious. A proposed parental relocation, for example, usually results in litigation. Attorney Barbara McDaniel Harris can represent you when you are seeking any non-routine modification. As an experienced family law lawyer, she understands the litigation process, and she will work hard to achieve your objectives.
