Modifications
- Child Support Modifications
- Child Custody Order Modifications
- Divorce Decree Modifications
Often when people divorce there are obligations governed by the divorce decree. These deal with possession schedules of children, child support, money paid directly from one party to the other, and health insurance coverage. We will discuss modification of those obligations with you, determine if a modification you want is possible, and help you obtain that modification.
Enforcement
If a party chooses not to follow the orders of the court our firm can help by filing a Motion to Enforce. Our firm will guide you through this process in order to help you receive the judgment that was awarded to you by the court. We will negotiate with the other party and return to court if necessary.
Premarital Agreements
A premarital agreement can be drafted prior to a marriage to set rules in place for division of property and assets in case the marriage ends in divorce. Our firm will help you create a premarital agreement or help you determine the validity of one that has already been drafted.
