Denver, Colorado, Post-Divorce Modifications Attorneys

If there are significant changes to your personal situation that affects your ability to comply with the terms of your divorce judgment regarding child or spousal support, custody, or visitation, you will need a post-divorce modification. Failure to obtain a post-divorce modification exposes you to contempt charges and possible financial and legal penalties. Depending on the issues involved, the court may chose to garnish wages, suspend driving privileges, seize assets, or impose a jail sentence. Additionally, there could be other consequences that affect visitation arrangements relating to children. At the law office of McGuane and Hogan, our family law attorneys prepare and file post-divorce modifications for those who can no longer comply with the term of their divorce settlement.

If illness, job loss, job relocation, or some other material factor has affected your ability to comply with child support, spousal support, or visitation requirements, contact post-divorce modifications lawyers at McGuane and Hogan today.

When to File a Post-Divorce Modification

Our family law attorneys prepare and file post-divorce modifications in regard to the following:

• Change in child support payments
• Change in spousal support payments
• Change in visitation schedules
• Parent relocations
• Change in regard to child residence

What Constitutes a Valid Reason for a Post-Divorce Modification?

In general, the court will consider a post-divorce modification when there has been a material change in your circumstances. For example, if illness, job loss, disability, or job relocation impedes your ability to comply with the financial terms of your divorce settlement, the court will likely grant a post-divorce modification. This can work both ways: if you and need more child or spousal support due to illness or loss of employment, the court may increase one or both until you are back on your feet; alternatively, if you need to reduce support payments for the same reason, the court will consider your request as well.

Failure to obtain a court-approved post-divorce modification can result in legal complications and penalties. Even if your ex-spouse is amenable to the idea of an unofficial modification that allows for the temporary reduction in support payments, you both could be held legally and financially accountable if either of you later asks the court to enforce the original order.
