Postjudgment Modifications

New Jersey Postjudgment Modifications Lawyer

Changes are a natural part of life and alterations to one’s schedule, budget and domestic situation are unavoidable. In the years following a divorce, changes that affect finances, custody and residency sometimes require the modification of an existing court order.

At Stephen R. Piper, PC, we understand the importance of these changes and help clients through the postjudgment modification process. Contact us today for a free initial phone consultation.

Relocation

Whether you are enlisted in the armed forces, moving to or from McGuire Air Force base, or are considering a career move that involves relocation to or from another state, it is necessary to pursue a legal modification of the custodial arrangements of your divorce decree. Because such changes are often opposed by a former spouse, your petition may result in further court hearings. Our firm can help you with the legal details of modifying existing child custody and visitation schedules.

Economic Changes

Changes in financial circumstances that are prompted by a wage decrease, a job loss or the need for a costly medical procedure can affect one’s ability to provide adequate support to children or increase the need for contributions from a former spouse. For assistance with petitioning for and negotiating child support modifications, call attorney Stephen Piper.

Emancipation

Our firm also assists individuals in modification of child support obligations with a determination that their child is emancipated. Emancipation is not simply when a child reaches the age of eighteen. It is important to contact an attorney to review if your child’s change of circumstances warrants emancipation. Attorney Stephen R. Piper can help.
