San Diego Post Judgment Modification Lawyers

San Diego Family Law – Post Judgment Modifications

Circumstances often change and as a result earlier court rulings may no longer suit your needs. It is sometimes necessary to return to court and ask for help enforcing a ruling made by the judge, such as orders to pay debts, pay child or spousal support, or to provide you with access to your children. Other times it is necessary to ask the court for a divorce-decree modification in order to adjust child support or custody arrangements.

The Law Office of Kraffert & Shaffer will perform a careful review of the original judgment, listen to your needs and concerns, assess the current situation, and explain the options available to you under California law. We represent individuals throughout San Diego County and provide experienced, specialized legal services related to post decree modifications or enforcements. A substantial change in circumstances may make current child custody, visitation, child support, and alimony awards impractical or impossible. When this occurs, a post-judgment modification may be necessary. Even if we didn’t represent you in your original divorce proceedings, our firm can guide you through the process of modification or enforcement of prior orders.

Modifications or Enforcement can include:

• Child Support: Your child's needs may change. Parents sometimes experience employment changes or illness. Sometimes opportunities, like private school education arise. Our firm is experienced and familiar with California law; we can help you make these modifications.
• Spousal Support: We have years of experience helping clients increase or decrease spousal support. Clients often approach us because they are not making as much money as they had previously. Sometimes they have been injured, downsized, or transferred out of their company. The Law Offices of Kraffert & Shaffer can help you make the necessary changes according to your needs.
• Child Custody: When one parent moves or a child's needs change, child custody modifications are often required. We can answer your questions about how California family law views these changes. We examine the reasons behind the change and issues regarding suitability of the other parent. Sometimes these circumstances necessitate the appointment of a guardian ad litem in the divorce decree modification process
