A Central Florida Divorce Modifications Lawyer
When a divorce is finalized, the agreement includes provisions for child custody, child support and alimony if it was awarded. These provisions were based on the circumstances that existed at the time of the divorce. When circumstances change, you may be able to request a modification to the divorce agreement that better reflects the current situation.
There are specific requirements that must be met in order to request a modification and the law in these cases can be quite complex. It is important to have an experienced divorce attorney on your side who knows the law and can make the strongest possible argument on your behalf. At the Longwood, Florida based law firm of Michelle A. Barry, P.A., we have handled all types of divorce modifications for clients throughout Central Florida.
Protecting Your Interests at all Times
One of the most important things to understand about modifications is that, if successful, the modification is only retroactive to the date of the request, not the date of the change in circumstances. If you are paying child support and have lost your job, for example, it is critical that you contact an attorney immediately to request a modification. If you wait three months and then make the request, you could still be responsible for the past three months of payments.
Attorney Michelle A. Barry prides herself on the personalized service she provides to each client. You can rely on her for honest communication and a prompt response when you need her. She returns all phone calls within 24 hours and will frequently follow up with you the same day.
