Post-Decree Modifications

A divorce decree is a court-issued document that terminates a marriage under the law. It often stipulates how both parties will handle family matters regarding children, custody, property and finances. After divorce, though, life circumstances for one or both parities may drastically change due to a myriad of events, including loss of employment, substance abuse issues, arrest/incarceration, illness, births, deaths or subsequent marriages. When these issues arise, it is necessary to make post-decree modifications.

At the Law Offices of Gina G. Pattermann. P.C., we expertly craft post-decree modifications to fit your current life situation. We know that lives are constantly changing and we are here to help you determine the right solutions to your post-divorce matters, whether it be to re-calculate child support or maintenance, adjust custody arrangements or even report violations of a court order (i.e. not paying child support or not showing up for visitations).

No Situation is Too Complex

Many times, post-decree modifications are simple and straightforward. In these cases, we will bill you accordingly, keeping your costs as low as possible. In other situations, post-decree modifications can be more complex, but we will still strive to offer you a competitive rate that is commensurate with your specific case needs. We don’t back down from cases that involve delicate matters or even criminal elements and we won’t rest until you’ve received a post-decree modification that is satisfactory.
