South Carolina Lawyer for Post-Divorce Issues
Divorce is just one very big event in life, and we know that changes and problems down the road can make it essential for you to get help from a knowledgeable family law attorney.
No matter how fair and appropriate the orders issued in your case are at the time, you may need to petition for a modification later on, and we can help. We also counsel and represent people throughout the Charleston-Mt. Pleasant area who need to take legal enforcement action when an ex-spouse or parent with support obligations does not comply with court orders.
We Know the Law and Can Provide Trustworthy Counsel on Modifications
Under the law, any post-divorce support, custody, or other modification requires proof of a substantial change in circumstances. If your situation meets this standard, required procedures can be relatively straightforward. Our experienced family law attorneys know how to assess your case and take the best action to obtain a modification in situations like these:
- You have lost your job, had to accept a lower-paying job, or suffered some other major financial setback, forcing you to seek a reduction in the child support you are required to pay.
- You become aware that your ex-spouse's income has increased dramatically, and you believe the child support order should be modified so your children can benefit.
- You have become seriously concerned about the welfare of your child or children, and want to pursue a modification of child custody or visitation.
- The ex-spouse to whom you currently pay alimony/spousal support is cohabitating or violating other conditions of the order.
