Even after a divorce or legal separation is over, or even after the Family Court has made a judgment containing permanent orders for child custody, child support, or spousal support, circumstances may arise that justify changing those orders. For example, a spouse who was ordered to pay spousal support to the other spouse may have just been laid off from his/her job through no fault of his/her own, or the other spouse who was receiving support may have obtained a new, high paying job. Alternatively, a child parenting schedule previously ordered by the Court may no longer be appropriate due to the children getting older, the parents’ work schedules changing, or perhaps more serious reasons. As your attorneys, we can file motions with the Court asking the judge to modify prior orders for the purpose of accommodating these new circumstances.
