Lawrence, Massachusetts, Modification Attorneys
After a divorce, circumstances can change. Your children get older and might have after-school activities that conflict with your visitation schedule. You might lose your job and be unable to pay alimony or child support.
At Wight & Roche, we understand that your divorce settlement, custody agreement or support order, may not have accounted for unexpected changes in the future. Our skilled New Hampshire and Massachusetts family law attorneys can help you file for a modification to change your support payments or parenting plan to meet your present situation.
We work hard to resolve your legal needs and help you get the modifications you need. Contact our law firm to talk with one of our attorneys about what we can do to help you.
Modifying Child Support Orders and Alimony Agreements
Child support orders and alimony agreements can be modified in New Hampshire or Massachusetts only in certain specific situations, such as:
- Death of an ex-spouse or parent
- Length of time since the previous order
- Unemployment
- Remarriage
Whether you can't afford to pay child support or your ex-spouse has remarried, we can help you understand your options and work to change or lower payments. We also help clients with enforcement of orders to make sure they receive the child support or alimony they need.
