Post-Divorce Decree Modification

Louisiana Attorney Assists With The Modification Of Divorce Decrees

Once the family court issues a support or alimony order, the existing order remains enforceable – even if circumstances change down the road. However, life throws changes at individuals. In some situations, opportunities for higher-income jobs are plentiful in the years following a divorce, while in others, job loss or reduced income may make complying with an existing order difficult. People may relocate. The relocation of a former spouse may make visitation rights more difficult depending on the move and the resulting location of the former spouse; this would necessitate a modification in the original divorce decree. Similarly, a parent may experience a significant change in their work schedule, making an existing parenting time or visitation arrangement unworkable. When substantial changes in circumstances arise post-divorce, a party may wish to have an existing order modified to reflect the new circumstances of life.
