Cases?

Emotional conflict over parenting issues can also make the case exceedingly complex. We help you define what it means to "win" your case and develop a strategy that meets your goals.

Why Does Someone
Need an Attorney for
Modification?

Divorce decrees regarding alimony, child support or parenting and timesharing are court orders that can only be changed by going back to court and proving that a modification is justified according to legal principles. The other party may oppose the modification, and litigation may be required.
