Modifications of Orders
The need to modify an existing order may be the result of many factors. The income of one parent may have increased or decreased, or one parent may have moved. Whatever the reason, if you are seeking the modification of an existing order, you deserve an experienced and understanding family law attorney help you. For 11 years I have assisted people in modifying orders including:
- Parenting plans
- Health care benefits
- Child custody
- Alimony or spousal support
- Child support
Knowledgeable Assistance Dealing With Contempt
If you are having a hard time abiding by a court order, regardless of the reason, you should consult a lawyer as soon as possible. You are at risk for being held in contempt the consequences of which may include:
- Suspension of your driver's license
- The levy of your bank account
- The taking of your Federal Income Tax return
- Incarceration
- The payment of the opposing party's legal fees
I can help you explore and understand your options, including the possibility of seeking a modification of the order.
Equity Actions
An equity action is any family related matter that doesn't involve marriage. If you have an equity action matter with the probate and family court, such as a will contest or the division of property when non-married people (including same-sex couples) separate, I can help resolve your issue.
