Modifications Have Become an Expected Part of Divorce
When a judge issues a divorce judgment, depending on the situation of the parties, the judgment may include provisions regarding:
- Child custody and parenting time schedules
- Child support amounts
- Spousal support/alimony arrangements
- Property division settlements
After the judgment is issued, life events often require a change or modification in some of the elements of the divorce judgment. The property division cannot be modified unless both parties stipulate to the change. However, support and custody judgments may be modified when there is substantial change in circumstance, such as:
- Significant change in income
- Job change requiring relocation
- Remarriage resulting in move away
Children's Best Interests are Key
Oregon courts do not readily allow relocation when children are involved. Because child psychologists have found that children benefit most from time spent with both parents, courts are making move aways more difficult. Judges will make decisions that are in accord with the best interests of children involved.
When the circumstances in your life require a change in your divorce judgment and its terms, our firm can review your case and discuss your options. Because post-divorce modifications can be expensive, our legal team will work with you to help develop a modification plan that best serves your needs.
