Unhappy With a Family-Related Court Order? Partner With a Modifications Lawyer
Court orders are used in many divorce and family law cases. In a divorce, the court may order one party to pay alimony or child support. Court orders also determine child custody and visitation arrangements for divorced parents. If you are unsatisfied with the terms of your court order, you can petition for a modification with the help of an experienced lawyer at Artisan Legal Services, PLLC. Attorney Dynah assists and represents clients seeking parenting plan modifications, child support modifications, and spousal support modifications. She works with clients in Macomb County, MI and the surrounding areas.
Petition for a Child Custody/Parenting Plan Modification
If you and the other parent can agree on a modification to your parenting plan, you can easily file the change with the court. However, if there is a dispute, you will both have to appear in court and present your case to a judge who will determine whether or not to accept the modification. These are some valid reasons to hire a lawyer to help you petition for a custody/parenting plan modification:
- You feel that the child isn’t safe with the other parent
- One parent is moving closer or further from the other parent
- One parent’s work schedule has changed
- The current parenting time schedule isn’t being followed
- The family situation has changed
- The child has expressed wishes to change the arrangement
Petition for a Child Support Modification
Either parent can petition to modify their child support order. This modification may be accepted when there has been a significant financial change in either parent’s life, such as losing a job, getting incarcerated, or even getting a promotion. If you and your ex-spouse can’t agree about the modification, you’ll have to attend a court hearing and present your case to a judge. If you want professional assistance and representation in your child support modification case, contact Artisan Legal Services, PLLC today.
