Strategic Representation for Modifications
With a substantial change in circumstances during life and after divorce, there may be instances where you need to make modifications to your Final Judgment, settlement agreement or timesharing and Parenting Plans. We understand that circumstances change and that modifications to child related provisions or support (alimony and child support) may need to be adjusted to make the most sense going forward.
Can You Modify Child Custody Without a Lawyer?
You can try to modify child custody without a lawyer, but it may be more effective and efficient to proceed with an experienced modification attorney by your side. Modification matters are typically complex and involve high burdens of proof that an experienced family lawyer will be able to navigate more successfully depending on the facts of your situation.
What's an Example of a Change of Circumstance?
Typically, grounds are based on a significant change in circumstances. For example, child custody may need to change if the visitation schedule no longer serves the child's best interest. Child support is calculated in part based on how many overnights you spend with your children — if that changes, your child support may also need to change.

Yaffa Family Law Group is sensitive to these kinds of issues and has helped many clients obtain modifications after the divorce or paternity matter is final. Whether it is a modification for child support, alimony, or a Parenting Plan, our family law attorneys can assist you and make your life easier. As Doreen Yaffa says: "Don't live stuck — change what you can and live your best life."
