We recognize that all families have unique situations, requiring a personalized plan of action. Our attorneys take pride in walking through all of the steps in helping you achieve your goals.

How To Petition For A Modification

Not every court order that issued after a divorce settlement is set in stone. The courts do recognize that life circumstances change, and thus will allow for some family law matters to be modified. We always advise making the important decision to modify your court orders is best made with counsel from a St. Louis County family lawyer.

Modification matters may include the following:

  • Revision of the custody agreement
  • Revision of the visitation schedules
  • Revision of the amount of required spousal maintenance
  • Determining which parent is responsible for certain payments, such as contributing to the child’s college fund
  • Changing the terms of spousal or child support due to changes in circumstances such as income
  • Deny custody or visitation due to domestic violence, drug abuse, or neglect

Sometimes, modifications can be accomplished without the need of going to court.
