Post-Divorce Judgment Modifications

When unforeseen circumstances after a divorce occur that affect the lives of the parties or their children, it may become necessary to modify or change the original divorce agreement or Judgment.

Negotiating a new agreement through mediation is less adversarial.

Has Your Situation Changed Post-Divorce?

At Harmony, we can evaluate whether the agreement should be modified, and assist and guide the parties to modify the original agreement or court order so that it can comport with their present needs and circumstances.

The most common post-judgement modifications we mediate are often based on these divorce agreement issues.

  • Child Support
  • Spousal Support (Alimony)
  • Child Custody and Visitation (Parenting Plans)

Circumstances Requiring a Modification

Harmony Family Law Mediation Group can help individuals mediate post-divorce judgment modifications without going to court.

Making adjustments or modifications to a marital settlement agreement or divorce judgment in California requires the expertise of an experienced and competent family law attorney.

Generally speaking, if the spouse answers YES to any of these questions, a post-divorce judgment modification is recommended.

  • If the spouse loses their job/business and cannot pay the original child support amount.
  • If the spouse receiving alimony discovers their ex-spouse is earning more income.
  • If the spouse receiving alimony remarries.
  • If the parents change residence.
