Post Judgment Actions

Post Judgment actions become necessary when a person’s circumstances change so much that it makes it difficult to adhere to the terms of an original agreement or settlement.  Many people are under the impression that when a divorce is “finalized,” there is no way to go back and change the agreements that were made.  Luckily, people with extenuating circumstances may be able to make post judgment actions to adjust the terms of an agreement or divorce to suit their current situation.  Post judgment actions make it possible to change the terms of child custody arrangements, child support, spousal support, visitation agreements, as well as marital settlement agreements. 

Regardless of your particular situation, you should contact a family lawyer at Claery & Green to discuss the possibility of post judgment actions.  Sometimes loss of employment or a serious illness can prevent a person from working and making money, which can make it difficult or even impossible to keep paying the current amount of child support which was arranged when you were bringing in considerable amounts of income.  In situations like these, your attorney will help prove the necessity of the modification so that your agreement can be changed to accommodate your current situation.

Another reason why a post judgment action may become necessary is if one party to the divorce does not adhere to the original agreement.  In cases involving property division, one or sometimes both parties will neglect to follow the plan, which could mean that one person sells or gives away an item without dividing the proceeds equally with the other person.  In these situations, a Los Angeles family law attorney will take the necessary legal actions to remedy the situation through a post judgment action.
