Modification of Court Orders
St Petersburg Divorce Attorney
On top of having to deal with the legal documents and the emotional chaos that a divorce brings about, families are often forced to make life altering decisions. During divorce, a family must make difficult decisions as to who will get to keep
custody of the children, whether spousal support, or
alimony, will be granted and how the family will work out
visitation schedules so that both parents get to spend time with their children. Having to decide between which spouse the children get to stay at can be a tough decision, and without the assistance of an attorney, you may be left making the wrong choice.
However, when you choose to work with a St. Petersburg divorce lawyer from a firm that has over 110 years of collective experience in the area of family law in the state of Florida, you will be granted with the luxury of a third party view to help make proper decisions. At Givens Divorce Law Group, our team of attorneys truly understands that going through a divorce can be difficult. Emotions will be heightened and you could be easily prompted to make the wrong decision. Not to worry – family court allows for
modification of court orders for a various number of reasons.
Modifications of Child Support, Custody, Alimony & Visitation
In cases such as with child support and alimony, modifications can be made when one or both parties involved in the divorce experience a significant increase or decrease in income. The amount of child support paid will either increase or decrease at least 15% or $110.00. The court will modify this as they see fit. However with cases of alimony, there are no specific guidelines as to how to modify these types of payments. Instead, where the court sees fit they will either modify the amount or the length of the payments.
