Provo Family Law Attorney
When a divorce decree is issued, the judge will also issue orders mandating such things as the payment of child support, spousal support, as well as custody and visitation. That is not the end of the story however. When a significant change in circumstances occurs, one party can ask for a modification in an order.
At Smith Law Firm, we frequently represent clients in post-divorce matters, including:
- Child support modifications
- Child custody and visitation modifications
- Child relocations
- Spousal support modifications
- Enforcement of support and custody orders
Call 801-404-5688 or send an e-mail to arrange for a free consultation. Attorney James Smith can discuss your legal options and what our firm could do to help you achieve your goals.
Child Support Modifications
A job layoff, temporary disability or an increase in a parent's salary may cause a parent to seek a modification in a child support order. Other situations that can justify a child support modification include a change in the living arrangements or the educational or medical needs of a child. In most cases, we can achieve a modification in child support quickly and efficiently.
You can use the Utah State Courts Child Support Calculator to determine the required child support level for your situation. However, your case may present some unique aspects that require further investigation. Contact Smith Law Firm for a free consultation.
Child Custody and Visitation
Some custody and visitation modifications are relatively simple. Let's say a parent with visitation rights changes his or her job schedule. It may be possible to negotiate an acceptable schedule change with the attorney for the other parent. Our firm can then simply go to court and obtain a formal change in the order.
Other custody and visitation modifications can become very complex or contentious, such as the proposed relocation of a child some distance away from the non-relocating parent. In a situation such as this, Smith Law Firm can review your case and discuss your legal options.
