Modification Actions

Modification Actions

Child visitation rights and winning child custody are critical issues in any divorce situation.  Family law lawyers’ experience and success vary in these significant areas.  With so many family law offices and divorce attorneys in West Palm Beach, you need an attorney you can trust with experience in modification actions.

Circumstances Change

Finances, relocation, and emotional stability are just a few examples of the many ways people’s circumstances change over time. Children’s needs and best interests can also change. Divorce law has recognized this by providing trial courts with the power to modify any provision within the divorce decree regarding support, maintenance, alimony, child support, parental decision-making, primary residency, and visitation. However, the standards to successfully attain such a modification are often not easy to meet. Moreover, modification is not automatically awarded when requested. Success is often achieved by a skillful presentation of the differences that have resulted due to the divorced parties’ changing circumstances.
