When working out the details of divorce, you are setting expectations for how your family will function once the divorce is complete. However, your circumstances or needs may change as life goes on. A skilled family law attorney can help you modify your existing divorce agreement to suit your new situation.
At Michael E. Spinato P.C., we assist divorced men and women throughout Bergen County, New Jersey, and the surrounding areas with all aspects of family law , including post-divorce decree modification. Whether you lost your job or suffered a serious, expensive medical emergency, we can help you protect your interests both now and in the future.
Representing Your Interests
Modifying existing agreements is a difficult process. New Jersey courts require extensive evidence that a change is necessary or required. We can help you:
- Gather the necessary paperwork the court is looking for, such as pay stubs, termination notices, medical reports or other documentary evidence
- Demonstrate that a true change in circumstances has occurred under existing case law
Modifying Your Agreement After Losing Your Job
In today's tough economic times, many people are facing job loss or reduced hours. Without the level of income you are accustomed to, it can be difficult to make child support or alimony payments. Or, you may now require additional assistance to provide for you or your children's needs.
Post-divorce modifications are complex, but they may lead to a reduction in support obligations if you have lost your job or suffered a loss in income. We will analyze your situation so you can form realistic expectations given your situation and determine if you should move forward with an application to the court.
The court does not grant modification orders simply based on immediate job loss. You must demonstrate that you have made efforts to obtain a new job or improve your skill set through vocational or educational classes. We will help you gather documentary proofs such as job applications, proof of vocational counseling, education transcripts and other documentation.
