Modification Lawyers In Chicago

It can be incredibly difficult for people to go through the process of judgment modification. Whether your income has changed due to a decrease in hours, or you’ve received an inheritance, modifying your alimony agreement is often necessary.

Not only does this allow for both parties to get what needs while still fulfilling their part of the initial contract, but it also allows people to take care of themselves and their family should any changes to either party’s financial situation occur.

A judgment modification is when one party in a case requests that their original agreement be changed by the courts. Usually, this is to either change or reduce the amount of alimony due or increase visitation rights for shared custody.

You can even modify child support if your financial circumstances have changed enough where it would benefit you financially to do so. The Law Offices of Robert B. Buchanan is always prepared to help you through this process.

Our experienced Chicago Judgment Modification lawyers are here to help. Call us today at (312) 248-6170.

When Am I Eligible To Adjust a Court-Ordered Agreement?

There are many reasons you might need to request a change in your judgment agreement, but perhaps the most common reason is that your income has changed since you signed it originally. This could make your monthly payments much more burdensome than before, and it’s likely that someone with a lower income would want to seek out a modification so they can pay less.

If you have had more children since the original judgment, then you may also be able to decrease your alimony or support payments because overall it will cost you less.

The point is that there are many good reasons why one might need to adjust their agreement, and if any of them apply to you, then please continue reading. Some of the other most common reasons are:

• A drastic change in financial circumstances which could affect, both you and your partner.
• If you’ve received an inheritance or gone through some sort of financial situation in which your income has increased dramatically.
• A loss of employment opportunity on either side.

Our modification lawyer will help you determine whether any of these apply to you.

Can An Enforcement Attorney Help Me Get My Court Ordered Visitation?

Yes, our enforcement attorneys are here to help you through your court-ordered visitation. If you’ve gone through a change in financial circumstances, our Chicago family law attorneys can help enforce your existing agreement by increasing the payment amount or enforcing non-payment of child support.

In those times where a change in financial circumstances leads someone to be eligible for a judgment modification and visitation agreement enforcement, our Chicago family law attorneys can also help modify the allocation of time between both parties.

Whether you would like more custody time or if your former partner is not following through on their end of the agreement, we are here to help enforce your new agreement.

Enforcement attorneys specialize in ensuring that court orders related to visitation and custody are respected by all parties involved. If one parent is denying visitation rights or not complying with the parenting time arrangements set by the court, an enforcement attorney can take legal action to address these violations. This may include filing motions for contempt or seeking court intervention to compel compliance.

Moreover, enforcement attorneys can assist clients in navigating the complexities of modifying parenting plans when there has been a significant change in circumstances. For example, if one parent has relocated, experienced a job loss, or the child’s needs have changed, the modification lawyer can help petition the court to adjust the visitation schedule to better reflect the current situation.

This ensures that the best interests of the child remain the priority while balancing the rights and responsibilities of both parents.

Can I Make Changes To My Child Support Court Order?

Child support is often a large financial obligation to take on, and it can be incredibly difficult should your income change. Certain circumstances can be considered in a court to evaluate your case and see if you’re eligible for a judgment modification.

Whether you would like to increase or decrease the amount that you pay or receive each month, our experienced team of family law attorneys will be here for you every step of the way.

Changes to a child support court order typically require demonstrating a substantial change in circumstances, such as a job loss, a significant increase or decrease in income, or changes in the child’s needs. Our attorneys assist clients by gathering and presenting the necessary financial records and evidence to support a modification request.

Additionally, we help clients understand how Illinois law governs child support modifications, including the calculation of support amounts based on both parents’ incomes and parenting time arrangements and child custody arrangement. If the parenting time has changed significantly, this can also impact the child support order or child custody order, and we can help petition the court accordingly.

Our law firm is committed to helping clients navigate these often complex legal processes with compassion and professionalism. We offer a free consultation to discuss your situation and explore your options for modifying child support or other related court orders.
