Post-Decree Modifications

Northern Illinois

Post-Decree Modification Lawyer

Divorce agreements establish specific parameters that each spouse must adhere to. If physical or financial circumstances prevent you from meeting your obligation to your spouse or your children, you may file for a post-decree modification. You may also wish to file for a modification petition if your ex-spouse fails to comply with the terms of your marital settlement.

Modifying a divorce agreement requires that the petitioner show a significant change in circumstances. A skilled divorce modification attorney can guide you through the process of changing your current divorce order. We have helped file modification petitions for individuals throughout Northern Illinois. Our clients benefit from our 30-plus years of law practice and trial experience.

Children’s Issues

Post-decree modifications are often filed on behalf of parents seeking to add or lift conditions to child support and child custody and visitation orders. For example, if an original child support order included a provision for day care, a service that your child has outgrown and no longer needs, you may file an action to modify the order. Petitions may also be filed on behalf of a parent who either wishes to move a child out of state or wants to prevent the residential parent from relocating with the child.
