Modifying Your Existing Arrangements
When child custody, child support and spousal support arrangements are created, they reflect the then current living situations of the parties involved. In reality, most people's circumstances change over time, and the support or custody arrangement should change to match.

Understanding Changes to Support Payments
Child support is a percentage of your net income that is determined by statutory guidelines and the number of children you have. To arrive at net income, taxes, Medicare payments, mandatory retirement contributions and health insurance premiums are deducted from the payors gross income. If you have a prior support obligation, that can also be deducted.
If you are laid off through no fault of your own, your support payments may change. We can help you modify your existing payments to reflect your current situation.
Changes to Child Custody Arrangements
When arrangements regarding the children are considered, the first and foremost standard is determining what is in the best interests of the child. If there is a serious endangerment to the children, modifications can be made quickly to protect their well-being. If there has been a significant change in circumstances — such as a drastic change in schedule or job relocation — we can help you modify your custody arrangements.
