We can help you determine whether or not you may be eligible for a modification in any of the following areas:

• Child support: Since payments are based on each party’s income, they often change. The court will also consider your children’s guideline expenses, including health care, child care and educational expenses.
• Alimony: If you or your spouse has undergone a significant financial change since the time of your divorce, your plan could be altered or finished.
• Child custody and relocation: In order to alter your child custody plan or relocate to a new state, you must demonstrate to the court that it is in the best interest of your children at the present time.
