Modifications and Enforcement

New Jersey Lawyers Assisting With Modification or Enforcement of Court Orders

Once you have finalized your divorce decree and child custody and child support agreements, it may seem like a good time to breathe a sigh of relief. You made it through the emotionally draining divorce process and are now ready to move forward with your new life. However, situations and circumstances can change over time. You may need a modification or enforcement of your spousal support, child custody or child support agreements.

It is possible, when a substantial change in circumstances occurs, to seek modification of court orders. In addition, when your former spouse or partner fails to comply with the terms of your divorce decree, you may seek enforcement through the court or alternative dispute resolution.

At Hanan M. Isaacs, P.C., in Princeton, New Jersey, we have more than 29 years of experience assisting clients with modification or enforcement of child custody, child support or spousal support agreements. We also assist those seeking to contest an action brought against them.

If you would like to speak with a dedicated family law attorney at our law office, please contact us at 609-751-5557 or 866-959-3786 toll-free to arrange a consultation. We offer clients negotiation or mediation services in modification matters.

Modification of Alimony, Child Support, or Child Custody Agreements

• Alimony: Spousal support amounts can be increased, decreased or terminated based upon substantial changes in the financial circumstances of either spouse.
• Child Support: The needs of your children may change after an initial agreement has been put in place. It is possible to petition the court for an increase, decrease or even termination of child support payments.
• Child custody: If there has been a substantial change in circumstances and a modification is in the best interests of the child, the court may adjust the original child custody agreement. Modification may also be applicable in cases of parental relocation.

 Our firm assists clients with Modifications and Enforcement and all related matters, including:

• Divorce

Enforcement of Alimony, Child Support, or Child Custody Agreements

When an ex-spouse or other parent fails to abide by the terms of your divorce decree or child custody or child support agreement, you can take action. We can assist you in petitioning the court for an enforcement order, requiring the delinquent party to comply with the applicable orders. Failure to comply can result in wage garnishment, loss of parenting time and even being held in contempt.
