Georgia Courts can only judge on matters with the facts in front of them. They cannot see into the future nor take into account a potential change of circumstances. With this in mind, the Court is open to requests for modifications. If you can no longer abide by a Court’s Order, it is important that you follow it until the court issues a modification. Going against the court can subject you to devastating consequences, including being held in contempt and the loss of a license.
Contact an attorney first. South Atlanta Family Law Firm works closely with clients who need to request or object to a modification to alimony, child custody, or child support. We recognize how significant this is, and we will provide effective representation to help you through this difficult time. Contact South Atlanta Family Law Firm to discuss your legal matter and get a personalized approach to your unique case and situation.
Georgia is open to hearing requests for modifications to alimony. Things change, and so do people’s financial and domestic situations. Whether you are the payor or payee, you may be wondering what justifies a request for modifying alimony. Some of the reasons a person would request a modification to alimony include:
In a modification of custody action, one must show that there are material changes in circumstances substantially affecting the current custody arrangement so that such arrangement is no longer in the child’s best interest. Common changes include, but are not limited to:
In a child support modification, the requesting party must show that there has been a substantial increase or decrease in the other party’s income or that the needs of the child have changed. For instance, if childcare was factored into the Child Support Worksheet and the child is no longer in daycare, a child support modification may be in order.
There are many instances that a request to modify child support is valid. However, it is important that you talk to an attorney before pursuing a modification so that you do not end up paying more due to other factors that you have not considered.
If you need to request a modification, it is important to discuss your situation with an attorney as soon as possible. The legal standard for the court to modify an order is quite high. The evidence to support the request must be convincing.
