Changing The Terms Of Your Divorce
Last updated on August 29, 2024
Navigating life after a divorce decree can bring unexpected challenges or changes in circumstances that may require legal adjustments to your original divorce settlement. When these life changes do not reflect the intent of your divorce, it may be necessary to seek a modification to your divorce decree. Post-decree modifications can be crucial when you need to alter child custody, support payments or other significant aspects outlined in your divorce agreement.
At McCauley Law Offices, P.A., our lawyer and staff understand that your life and needs can evolve over time. They are dedicated to representing the Panama City community with their divorce needs, including pursuing modifications that reflect our clients’ ever-changing lives. Our founder, attorney Carroll L. McCauley III, is prepared to help you either seek a modification of your divorce or defend your current arrangement.
Understanding Decree Modifications
To keep ex-spouses from abusing divorce modifications, post-decree modifications in Florida are not automatic and require a showing of substantial changes in circumstances. Some examples of valid reasons to pursue a modification after your divorce include:
- Job loss
- Relocation
- Remarriage
- Significant financial change
- Medical needs
Our lawyer also understands the sensitivity of renegotiating terms involving children. To him, representing you means also representing the needs of your children, and he is sure to gather all the available information to pursue new child custody and support arrangements that reflect the needs of everyone involved.
Choose Committed And Motivated Representation
When life changes, your divorce decree should change as well. Instead of hoping for the best by representing yourself, let our attorney be the one to stand up for you and your family and seek the outcome you deserve.
If you believe that changes in your life warrant modifications to your divorce decree, or if you need help keeping things the way they are, now is the best time to reach out to our lawyer. Contact us by calling 850-299-4070 or emailing us here to set up your initial consultation today.
