Need To Modify A Family Law Court Order? We Are Here To Help.
Conventional wisdom states that one of the only constants in life is change. This is certainly true in families with minor children. As your children grow and circumstances evolve, existing court orders for child custody and child support may no longer be appropriate. Thankfully, court orders can be modified with a court’s approval. Finding a family law attorney with experience in court order modifications is crucial to navigating these changes.
In Tacoma and surrounding areas of Washington, you can find the help you’re looking for at Schroader, Steele & Associates. Our attorneys have more than 20 years of combined experience, and they are ready to assist you in presenting a compelling legal argument for the modifications you seek. They will work tirelessly to ensure your voice is heard and your concerns are addressed.
When And Why To Modify A Custody Order
In Washington, either parent can petition to modify a child custody order if there has been an unexpected and substantial change in the circumstances of one parent or the needs/circumstances of the children. This change must also be relevant, meaning that the best interests of the child or children are no longer being served by the current order.
Our attorneys can guide you through either petitioning to alter an existing order or striving to maintain the status quo if it serves your child’s best interests. They will provide the legal support needed to navigate these sensitive situations, always with a focus on what will serve your child best in the long term. For responsive, diligent legal representation, count on us.
Child Support Orders Can Be Modified To Reflect Changing Financial Realities
Significant changes in either parent’s financial circumstances or the needs of the child are both reasons to petition to modify and order for child support. Our attorneys can represent you whether you are seeking to increase or decrease the payment amounts or seeking to prevent a change. They will help you understand the process, evaluate your situation and effectively represent your interests.
