CAN A POST DIVORCE DECREE AFFECT CHILD CUSTODY ARRANGEMENTS?

As experts in Arizona divorce law, our lawyers will help you evaluate any legal, financial, or parenting option that may be contested, changed, or arise after a divorce.  Once your options and preferences have been determined, our team will go to work defending and protecting your rights and the rights your child shares, including, but not limited to seeking immediate court intervention in situations of high risk to a child or emergency.

WHAT CAN TRIGGER A POST-DECREE MODIFICATION?

Any of the following reasons (or more) could result in a post-decree modification:

   A substantial increase or decrease in your income or your former spouse’s income

• A change in the child’s needs for reasons such as health care or special requirements
• A circumstantial change that would benefit the child from a custody standpoint
• One parent has chosen or is required to move an extended distance away
• A change to visitation or the previous custody agreement is desired
• The child’s schedule or other needs have changed
• New information that was not known or divulged during the divorce

WHAT CAN TRIGGER A MODIFICATION TO AN ALIMONY ORDER?

When the original divorce decree includes a provision for spousal support (alimony) and either you or your ex’s, or both, needs or resources no longer reflect what they did at the time of the divorce decree, there may be a case for modification of the spousal support order.  

What ultimately ends up being fair and reasonable in a divorce scenario is not always concluded and permanently put to rest at the time of the divorce.  A variety of unforeseen or new circumstances may make it necessary to revisit, and seek a post-divorce modification.  Our legal team at Sierra Vista Divorce Law, PLLC is here to advise, defend, and, when necessary, fight for your rights.
