Legal Guidance for Updating Support Judgments
After a divorce, support judgments such as spousal support and child support are common determinations. These support judgments reflect the financial responsibility or ability of each parent and child at the time. However, over the course of time, one of the parent's may lose his or her job or remarry, or the child may decide to live with the other parent or become legally emancipated.
A modification of either the spousal support or child support payments may become necessary in order to reflect these kinds of changes. Modifying a support judgment or modifying divorce orders are complicated legal processes and require the consultation of experienced legal representation, in order to ensure that the modification is drawn accurately. With more than 17 years of experience representing individuals and families in various judgment modifications, Manassas divorce modifications attorneys Knight & Stough, LLP can provide valuable legal guidance and consultation.
Prince William County Post-Judgment Modification Lawyer
Upon requiring a judgment modification, it is important to immediately hire legal representation and contact the court. Failure to do so can lead to unnecessary problems down the road, such as the other parent or party filing a will to show cause claim. This legal document places the other parent or party as in contempt of court, as it refers to the details of the original judgment. Maintaining an active involvement with an attorney throughout the timeframe after a divorce is advisable and can help prevent future legal obstacles.
It's easier to plan a strategy rather than attempt to change an already existing one.
