Lone Tree Child Custody Modification Attorneys
Helping You When Circumstances Change
If anything is guaranteed in life, it is that life will change. Circumstances surrounding your divorce agreement will change. There are options to modify a divorce or child custody agreement when there has been a substantial and continuing change in circumstances. This change must render a prior order "inequitable" or no longer in the child's best interests. In other words, there must be a significant difference or change in circumstances that will make your agreement ineffective. Examples of a significant change include losing a job, moving away or an unexpected medical condition.

Child Custody Modifications
There are numerous reasons for changing a child visitation agreement. Common reasons include:
- Relocation/move-away
- Loss of employment
- Remarriage
- Domestic violence/substance abuse
Spousal Maintenance and Child Support Modifications
A modification in a support agreement almost always has to do with a change in income. Examples include being laid off, changing jobs, receiving a pay cut or increase in health insurance/child care costs. In addition, the cost of care for special needs children can go up, requiring a modification in a support order.
Enforcements
Our attorneys also handle enforcements and contempt actions. If a party is noncompliant in paying a support order or following a visitation agreement, an enforcement or contempt action can be filed in court. Consequences for a noncompliant party can include paying attorney's fees, fines, a change in a parenting time schedule, sanctions and even incarceration.
