Representation in Seeking the Modification of Family Law Orders
After an order for child support, child custody or another area of family law has been issued, it is sometimes possible to obtain a modification of that order.
If you are seeking the modification of a standing court order, turn to us at the Law Offices of Paul E. Antill in San Dimas, California. At my office, my staff and I, attorney Paul Antill, assist clients in going back to court and get a current judgment. This is done in order to protect your rights and relationships. If issues arise, you have a judgment that can be used in court. Your order needs to reflect changes that have happened in your life since original order was entered. Regardless of any agreement or arrangement the parents and children reach, a court must approve the plan.
Contact us today to further discuss your modification or family law case.
Frequently, modifications involve increasing visitation, increasing or decreasing child support, and increasing or decreasing spousal support (alimony). Modifications happen to these types of orders in two different courts: child support services and family law court. We are able to assist clients in dealing with modifications in both types of court.
Unfortunately, many of our clients that are fathers get trapped in child support services court. We strive to get this into family court and seek the modification of existing court order so the District Attorney doesn't come after them to suspend their driver's license or garnish their wages. Often the parent in trouble does not realize that the amount of visitation affects the amount of child support he/she must pay.
Many of our clients are paying huge amounts of support (and fall behind), but they may be spending lots of custodial time with the kids. We have had fathers with full custody who are still paying support because they never bothered to modify the child support order.
Legal Assistance with Modification
Often, people think that they can seek a modification on their own. Though it is possible in certain situations, it is beneficial to have an experienced lawyer on your side that will help you.
