San Jose Post-Divorce Modification Lawyer

If your current child custody or child support agreement no longer fits your circumstances, the Dominion Law Group in San Jose, California, can help you seek a modification of the agreement. Modifications in child support and some visitation matters are routine. We can often obtain these quickly and at reasonable expense. Depending on the circumstances, other types of modifications such as those involving child custody can become quite contentious and involve extensive legal work to resolve.

Examples of post-divorce modifications include:

If you can no longer afford to make your current child support payments because you have lost your job or taken a lower paying job, you can petition the court to reduce your payments.

If the payer of child support is earning substantially more money and can afford to pay more child support, you can petition the court to increase child support payments.

If property was omitted from the property settlement, you can petition the court to divide the property.

If your spouse is planning to move out of the area with your children, you can petition the court to prevent the move or to change visitation.

If a custodial parent has experienced a change in circumstances that makes him or her less fit - or more fit - for child custody or visitation, you can petition the court to change child custody or visitation.

If child custody or visitation has changed, you can petition the court to change child support.

If the needs of a child have changed, you can petition the court to change child custody or child support.

The Dominion Law Group also helps parents seek enforcement of child visitation, child support, and spousal support agreements. If your ex refuses to comply with the agreement, a judge can make a finding of contempt. This would result in a five-day jail term for each act of contempt.

After divorce, the need for sound legal guidance in family law matters continues. Whatever your need, the attorneys at the Dominion Law Group will protect your rights and interests.
