Modifying The Terms Of Your Divorce

Once a family law agreement has been approved by the court, it becomes binding. This means that if you or your former partner ever needs to make an adjustment to your alimony payments, custody agreement, parenting time, child support or any other ongoing stipulation of your agreement, you must seek an official modification.

Similarly, if your partner has not been following the requirements of the decree, you should seek out the assistance of an attorney to file a contempt order to enforce the agreement. Don’t risk your case by attempting to withhold parenting time or support payments in response to his or her actions, contact an experienced contempt and enforcement lawyer instead.

If you have been charged with contempt or need assistance enforcing your decree, call our office at 612-254-6409 today. We will prepare a swift and calculated response strategy.

Understanding The Grounds For Modification

There are a number of reasons a post-decree modification may be necessary. If one partner has lost or secured a new job, the needs of your child have changed, a parent is planning to move or relocate, a former spouse has remarried or if there has been a significant change of circumstances such as a disability or illness.

In Minnesota, the changes in circumstances have to be significant in order to warrant a modification. Because of this, it is important to agree upon a detailed and comprehensive plan during your initial proceedings whenever possible. Approval of a modification is at the discretion of the court, which is why a compelling presentation of your circumstances is crucial.
