Helping Clients Modify the Terms of Their Divorce Orders
If you are like many people, the day your divorce was finalized marked a new chapter in life. You may not have expected to have to go back to court to litigate your divorce. As your life, your ex-spouse's life and the lives of your children change, it is important that your divorce order reflects these changes. A family lawyer can be instrumental in protecting your rights and helping you reach a result that meets your needs.
We are the Elgin divorce modification lawyers of Brady & Jensen. We offer knowledgeable, strong legal representation in all areas of family law, including post-divorce modifications. In fact, a large part of our family practice involves helping people in the years following a divorce.
Before modifying child custody, child support or alimony, the law requires there to be a substantial change in circumstances. In child custody cases, any modification must also in the best interests of the child. A substantial change in circumstances can constitute many things, including a substantial increase or decrease in one's income, the loss of a job, health issues or remarriage by one or both spouses. Whether you wish to modify any part of your divorce, or if you resist a modification, our family law lawyers will put forth a strong argument supported by the facts and relevant laws.
One of the most contentious issues after a divorce involves the relocation of one parent, particularly when that parent has custody of the children. Moving out of state or a significant distance within Illinois requires court approval. Whether you wish to move or oppose a move, we can provide candid, strong representation.
