When a couple’s divorce is finalized, both parties receive a court document known as a “judgment of divorce” that states the provisions of the divorce. While a judgment is enforceable by law and must be followed by both parties, it is by no means absolute and can be changed given the right circumstances. As children grow older and jobs change, a judgment may need to be modified in order to accommodate for such changes. If you are in need of a post-divorce modification, attorneys at Foster Swift have the experience to walk you step-by-step through the associated legal processes and advocate for a favorable result on your behalf.
One of the most distressing issues facing you in divorce involves child custody and parenting time. Child custody disputes can quickly escalate into expensive battles (emotionally and financially) without good planning and experienced legal counsel. This lack of planning often results in painful, emotional damage to your co-parenting relationship and your children. If you find yourself caught up in a family issue that requires legal action, it is imperative that you retain the services of a strong legal team to protect your rights and secure the best resolution for your situation.
