Modification of Orders Lawyer

Child Support Modification Attorney – Birmingham, AL

Parties to a divorce or child support case often assume that a divorce decree or a child support order is final. The truth is that the circumstances of the parties often change and Alabama law allows a parties to modify their previous orders to account for those changes. For instance, it is very common to need a modification of a child support order as the needs of the child change and as the parents’ financial situations change, for better or for worse. Child custody orders and parenting plans may also need to change as the child grows or if one parent leaves the state to pursue a job or be closer to family. Even spousal support orders sometimes require modification. If your existing child custody, child support or spousal support order no longer reflects your current circumstance, contact attorney Patrick K. Yeatts of The Yeatts Law Firm for an initial consultation. We can help you bring your case back to court to seek a modification of your court order.
