Lee Marlow is an experienced Connecticut attorney who can help you strike the appropriate balance between your legal responsibilities to others, and the personal and financial freedom you desire.
Post-Decree Modifications / New Haven Child Support Modification Lawyer
Connecticut courts can modify child custody, child support payments and spousal support payments when there is a "substantial" change in circumstances.
Such changes can involve:
- Income. If one party's income increases or decreases significantly due to calamity such as unemployment, or a windfall such as a promotion, either party may be able to secure a change in support.
- Living situation. If one party remarries, moves out of state or country, or has a live-in partner who is a negative influence on your children, the other party may have grounds to seek a modification of custody or visitation.
- Child care circumstances. If one parent has an addiction, a work schedule that is overly demanding, or lives in circumstances that are otherwise detrimental to a child's well-being, or if that parent takes steps to correct such detrimental circumstances, it may be possible to modify the terms of the child custody order.
