Connecticut Family Law Firm Focuses on Divorce Agreement Modifications
Circumstances Changed Since Your Divorce? Mystic, CT Family Law Assists With Modifications
Life does not always turn out as expected, and families in transition may need a divorce agreement modification to resolve post-divorce disputes. At times, these issues can be resolved amicably without legal help. However, you should enlist the help of an attorney to make changes legal in case of disputes down the road. The Bruce A. Chamberlain Law Office can help you iron out changes and prove that a modification is necessary.
When is a Divorce Agreement Modification in Order?
Most divorce agreement modifications are needed as a result of significant life changes experienced by one of the parties. Certain changes can cause them to be unable to meet the terms of the original divorce agreement — or enable one party to reduce the amount of payments they are currently making — including:
- Job loss
- Job-related move
- Serious illness
- Substance abuse issues
- Inheritance
- Significant job promotion
As in the original divorce agreement, you will need to work with your former spouse and the Connecticut court system to get the modification approved. If you and your ex-spouse both agree that a change needs to be made, the process will be relatively easy, providing the court is in agreement.
However, if you don’t see eye-to-eye, you’ll need to hire a family law attorney to present evidence to the court justifying the need for the change you are seeking. Your former spouse’s attorney will argue against the change, and the judge will decide and issue a court order reflecting the changes.
