Pursuing Modification

If you are interested in pursuing modification of child custody, the first question our attorneys ask is if there has been a change of circumstances. If the divorce occurred more than three years ago, the court looks for a qualifying 15 percent drop or more in income. The court, of course, considers the best interests of the child.

Whether or not your spousal maintenance agreement is modifiable depends on you unique circumstances. It is best to consult with an experienced family law lawyer, who can advise you on complicated issues relating to modification. Call us today at 1-888-547-4408 or 828-258-8053.

Enforcement of Child Support

If you are not receiving due child support payments, there are legal remedies. Depending on the situation, we may pursue civil or criminal contempt of court, including garnishing the supporting spouse's wages or placing a lien on property owned by the offending spouse.

Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement done in advance of a marriage can help clear up a lot of issues in advance by establishing clear understandings. If you have a trust fund you received before the marriage or built up a successful small business, agreements on those concerns could be spelled out in a prenup.
