A "finalized" divorce decree reflects the time that all issues were finalized. As the years go along, circumstances change. Spouses get remarried. Jobs are lost. Promotions are earned. Military personnel are transferred or deployed overseas.
At Schifanelli & Associates, LLC, our divorce attorneys represent clients seeking to revisit an existing divorce decree and modify certain aspects of it. Our attorneys also advocate for Maryland residents and military personnel transferring to another base or deploying overseas with relocation matters.
Baltimore Modification and Spouse Relocation Lawyers
Modifications are often necessary in divorce agreements that involve:
Changes in an existing divorce agreement arise from financial challenges or increases in income. A challenging job market increases the number of people who need help in this area. A spouse may have been promoted or found a new job that significantly increases his or her income. Instead of just accepting the current support agreement, options exist to modify if there is a substantial change in circumstances.
Relocations combine personal issues with legal challenges. The non-custodial spouse could be left behind while his or her children leave the state. While disputing the relocation is possible, the best interests of the children come first. If a move is approved, parenting time can be consolidated over one long period of time and support can be reduced to account for travel expenses.
