Post-Judgment Modifications

Orange County Divorce Lawyer

If circumstances have changed since your divorce judgment, you can file a court action to modify the divorce decree. Both child support and child custody can be modified. The portions of a judgment governing the property settlement cannot be modified, unless your attorney can prove that a party hid assets.

Has a significant change in circumstances left your current divorce agreement difficult or outright impossible to follow? As an Orange County divorce attorney, I can offer you helpful insight into the matter. I have extensive experience and training in handling post-judgment modifications and can determine whether your case may qualify. By properly presenting the applicable information and handling your case, I can help you seek a change in custody or support that suits your current needs.

Changing Custody or Support through Modification

For a court to modify an existing child custody or child support order, the court must find that there has been a change of circumstances since the last order was made. The following chart provides examples:

Change in Circumstance

If the spouse has a chemical or alcohol dependency problem

If parent with shared custody changes work schedule
