Massachusetts Child Support Modification
Child support amounts can typically be changed only upon a showing of material and substantial change in circumstances, such as a significant increase or decrease in your income (e.g., losing your job). In addition, your child is technically entitled to a 10% increase in child support upon reaching the age of 13, but you must petition the court for any child support modification. Miguel Law Offices can help. Contact Us a child support modification lawyer today.
Massachusetts Alimony Termination or Modification
Just like child support modifications, alimony can also be modified or terminated upon a showing of material and significant changes in circumstances for either party. For example, remarriage of your former spouse may be cause for termination of alimony payments. Consult an experienced post-divorce modification attorney today.
Massachusetts Child Custody and Visitation Modification
There are several situations that may give rise to a request to modify a child support or shared parenting plan (visitation) order, including:
- Relocation of one of the parents could give rise to a change of custody or at the very least a change in visitation to accommodate the parents' and child's schedule.
- A change in work schedule of a parent may give rise to a new schedule for practical purposes.
- An unsafe environment may also give rise to a modification of a child custody or visitation. For example, if a new boyfriend or girlfriend uses drugs, is abusive or presents a danger to the children, then it may be possible to obtain a change in child custody or supervised visitation.
