Modifying Agreements to Meet Changing Needs
A divorce agreement is designed to meet the needs of individuals at the time of divorce, and anticipate any reasonably foreseeable changes into the future. However, sometimes substantial changes occur after divorce that makes the agreement impractical or ineffective. It can sometimes become necessary to revisit a divorce agreement months or years after the fact as individual situations change.
When you need to seek a post-divorce modification, I can put more than 20 years of family law experience, personalized service and a results-driven attitude to work for you. At the law office of Gabrielle S. Davis, PC, I work with clients to help modify old agreements to meet new situations.
A New Agreement for Unexpected Changes
A change to support or custody agreements may be sought when there is sufficient evidence of a substantial change in circumstances. Among the kinds of situations that can necessitate a post-divorce modification, include:
- Significant changes in income
- Involuntary reductions or changes in employment
- Disability or serious changes in health
- Increase in a child's financial needs
- Evidence of abuse or neglect
- Relocations and removals
I know the kinds of situations where a post-divorce modification is reasonable to pursue, and avoid putting my clients into unnecessary litigation when it is not. I also understand the procedures that can be used to pursue your post-divorce modification needs in court.
This approach is based on my more than 20 years of experience as a lawyer in the Chicago area. I have handled all aspects of family law, and put a priority on being a true advocate for my clients.
