Post-Divorce Modifications

New Jersey Post-Divorce Modification Lawyer - We Care

Final arrangements regarding child custody, visitation, child support and spousal support (alimony) are made according to the parties' current situations. However, as circumstances change, these arrangements may no longer suit the needs or best interests of the former spouses or their children. As a result, a modification of the original arrangement may prove necessary. The modification process can be complex, so it is important to retain the services of an attorney with considerable experience in this area.

Attorney Laurence H. Olive has been assisting clients with post-divorce modification issues for more than 30 years. He understands the legal process and is a fervent advocate for his client's interests. If you need to modify a divorce or property settlement agreement, contact the Law Offices of Laurence H. Olive today.

A Substantial Change in Circumstances

Divorce decrees and property settlement agreements are legally binding. In order to properly modify either of them, the court must find that there has been a substantial change in circumstances, such as:

• The loss of job
• A new job
• The parent is deemed unfit
• The parent remarries
• The child is older and requests a different plan
• A change in school schedules
• A reinterpretation of property settlement

Fraud is another reason to modify an existing divorce agreement. Failing to disclose business assets, hiding money in offshore accounts, or obtaining money through fraudulent practices is sufficient to modify or even invalidate the original arrangement. The Law Offices of Laurence H. Olive will help uncover fraudulent acts and modify the agreement to better protect your rights and the best interests of your children. If you suspect fraudulent practices, contact the firm immediately.
