When Circumstances Change, You Have The Right To Modify An Existing Order
A post-decree modification can be essential if there are significant changes in your life or that of your ex-spouse or children. Michigan law allows modifications to child support, child custody and spousal support obligations if both parties agree, or if there has been a substantial and material change in circumstances since your divorce decree or custody order.
In Michigan, substantial life changes eligible for modification include:
- Health complications
- Remarriage of one party
- Significant changes in employment or income
- Substance abuse issues
- Domestic violence or criminal convictions
- Significant changes in the costs associated with raising the child
- Changes in the child’s age or needs, such as educational expenses
Enforcement of an existing order might become necessary to ensure the well-being and support of a child or to uphold spousal support obligations. Common reasons for enforcement actions include endangerment of the child’s well-being, nonpayment of child support or spousal support and repeated lateness in transfers or visitations.
At WN Law PLLC, we understand how critical these issues are. Our experienced family law attorneys are equipped to take decisive enforcement measures to protect your rights and ensure compliance with legal obligations.
