Child Support Modification
Child support orders can be modified whenever the financial resources of either parent or the needs of the children have substantially changed. There are two ways to obtain a child support modification. The first involves reaching an informal, but written mutual agreement with your former spouse. The second involves filing a request for modification with the court. This option is generally better because it can protect you from later being accused of violating the original divorce order.
In rare cases, alimony can be modified as well.
Custody and Visitation Modifications
Unlike child support or spousal support, modifications of child custody or visitation orders can only be granted if the court feels that the proposed change is in the children's best interests. In other words, it is very important to consult with an experienced lawyer as soon as possible if you are planning to seek a custody or visitation modification. You should also do this if you have been notified that your children's primary custodial parent intends to relocate.
