Obtaining Divorce Modifications
As your family changes, parts of your divorce settlement should be able to change with it. Whether you have lost your job or your former spouse has remarried, an experienced lawyer can help you obtain post-divorce modifications. I am family law attorney Donald Fraker, and from my law office in Mequon I help families across Wisconsin appropriately modify their divorce settlements, including for custody, relocation and support.
Tailored Solutions for Your Family
Contact the Fraker Law Firm
I represent clients seeking divorce modifications, as well as clients who are satisfied with their current agreement and want to defend against a proposed modification. Regardless of which side you are on, I will gather all necessary evidence, and make sure the court accurately understands your current situation.
Placement Modification
When it comes to child placement modifications, the court has the final say. You will have to wait at least two years after the initial placement arrangement unless you can demonstrate that the current arrangement is harmful to your children. After two years, you have to show that the situation has changed substantially and the court will make its decision based on what is best for your kids given such change.
Relocation
If one parent wants to move more than 150 miles from the other parent or out of state, he/she must notify the other parent and give him/her a chance to file an objection. The court will look at many factors before deciding whether or not to approve the relocation.
Child Support
If you have an ongoing child support plan, you can seek to modify it to fit substantially changed economic situations. Parties may also modify their current agreement and take their modification to the court for an official order.
