Modification With A Family Law Attorney
PHOENIX SUPPORT MODIFICATION ATTORNEY
Many changes can take place in the years following a divorce. When circumstances involving your job or health have changed, court orders may need to be adjusted to account for those changes. If you have lost your job, are working at a lower wage, or have suffered an accident resulting in serious injury, it may be time to address outdated court orders. Another thing to consider is that the needs of your children might be different after a certain number of years. If you believe that court orders are no longer effective, an experienced family law attorney can help.
