Post Judgment Modifications

Changes are inevitable in this life, and although divorce settlements, custody arrangements, & child support payments are designed to suit everyone’s needs as they are at the time of the divorce, things can change in the future making it difficult if not impossible to adhere to the original plan.  In these cases, it may be necessary to seek post judgment modifications.  Under California law, there are ways you can seek modifications to orders when there is a significant and meaningful change in your circumstances.  Any major event like unemployment, illness, or an injury may make a post judgment modification necessary, and a Los Angeles family lawyer can help you through this process. 

Modifications can be made to a number of different orders and agreements, including those that involve child support, child custody, visitation, spousal support, or marital settlement agreements.  There are many different situations that may warrant a modification of a previous judgment, including:

  • A significant increase or decrease in either party's income
  • A job loss, job change or other event
  • A parent's desire or need to relocate
  • A major change in the costs of caring for children, prompted by a medical problem or other event
