When a Modification Is Needed

There are a variety of life changes that can necessitate the need for modification. It does not have to be a negative change, such as losing a job. Positive changes, such as an increase in income, can also lead to modifications.

A modification may be granted by a judge for circumstances such as:

  • Job loss
  • Substantial change in income
  • Relocation
  • Illness
  • Disability

Modifications must be filed with the court and approved by a judge. Deciding to relocate without a court's consent or refusing the pay child support can lead to additional trouble with the court. You can speak with Attorney Gill if you have questions about your situation.
