The Need for Modifications Can Arise at Any Time

Life is not always a smooth road; unexpected things can happen requiring that changes be made and this can apply just as well to divorce agreements.  Modification is sometimes necessary to a divorce agreement that has already been approved in the courts. You may have a certain amount of money you pay for  child or  spousal support and circumstances have changed requiring a modification in the agreement. Perhaps a  child custody situation has to be modified due to a parent moving to another location. Following a few of the more common reasons for modifications:  

Common Reasons for Modifications

• One partner loses a job or gets a reduction in pay
• One partner gets an increase in pay
• An injury, medical emergency or illness occurs affecting the income of a partner
• A parent has to relocate to another area
• A change in a child's needs or expenses
• A discovery of a non-optimum situation (like drug or alcohol abuse) with a parent who has custody
