Modification of Custody & Support

Atlanta-Marietta Postjudgment Modification Attorneys

The child custody, visitation and support agreements appropriate at the time of your divorce may not be appropriate years later if your circumstances or the circumstances of your ex-spouse or child have changed. The following are examples of when you can seek a modification of your divorce agreement:

• If your child support payments were calculated prior to January 1, 2007, you may be entitled to a modification if you would pay or receive a different amount under the new child support guidelines.
• If the income of either parent has changed substantially, it could result in an increase or decrease in the amount of child support to be paid by the noncustodial parent.
• If a child is not doing well in school or at home, child custody and visitation rights may be changed.
• If a custodial parent wishes to relocate, child custody and visitation may be changed. The custodial parent cannot move the child out-of-state without court approval.
• If a child is abused or neglected by a parent, that parent's custody or visitation rights may be changed, taken away or made subject to court supervision.
