Family Lawyers Handing Child Support, Child Custody & Spousal Support Modifications

In this day and age, nothing is constant, especially when it comes to finances.  After a divorce has already been settled, sometime issues will arise that will make it absolutely necessary to go back and modify the original arrangement.  Child support and spousal support are determined based upon financial figures of the spouses, and sometimes extenuating circumstances can affect a person’s ability to pay.  Loss of employment, illness, family emergencies and other issues can affect an individual’s income, making it difficult if not impossible for them to pay the required amounts.  The recipient’s financial needs can also change, requiring a modification in the child or spousal support amount.  No matter what your specific circumstances are, if you are interested in seeking a modification of any aspect of a divorce settlement, you should look to a Seattle family lawyer at our firm for assistance.      

Modification Lawyers Serving Clients in Seattle, Washington

The family law attorneys at our Seattle firm can represent you for the following types of modifications:

• Child Support Modifications
• Spousal Support Modifications
• Child Custody Modifications
• Parenting Plan Modifications

Washington law allows for a modification in child support and spousal support when a considerable change in financial circumstance occurs, although it must be significant in order to be considered for modification.  Temporary loss of employment rarely will be considered for child support modifications, but longer more prolonged periods of unemployment or disability may be considered. 

Child custody and parenting plan modifications may be made in the event of a major life change in the parents or children, such as relocation, a new career, disability, sickness, injury, or in other extenuating circumstances.  As our family lawyers have seen, life can change very quickly and it only makes sense that we have laws to accommodate our rapidly changing lifestyles.  If you have experienced a huge change in your life, and as a result need to modify some part of your divorce or custody agreement, do not hesitate to contact one of our attorneys as soon as possible so they can begin working on your modification.
