Portland Divorce Modification Attorney

Although your original divorce agreement may have worked based upon you and your spouse’s circumstances at the time, life sometimes throws us unexpected situations that will require a divorce modification. If you lost your job, were promoted, are considering a move or are dealing with some other significant change in circumstances that is making your current child custody, child support or spousal support arrangement inconvenient or simply impossible, a Portland divorce lawyer at our firm can help. We assist clients throughout the Portland area with post-divorce modifications and will be happy to see how we can help you.

Modifying Custody or Support

When a change in circumstances is significant enough to warrant a review and possible alteration of an existing custody or support arrangement, it may be time to consider a divorce modification. Each case of this kind is taken on by the family law courts on an individual basis. As such, you must provide complete information about the change that has occurred and why this is considerable enough to warrant a formal modification. It is not enough that you simply want to lower or raise support payments or are interested in trying out a new custody arrangement. You must prove that this is in the child’s best interests or that your financial situation makes it necessary for a change to occur.
