Comprehensive Family Law Assistance, Including Post-Divorce Issues
After a divorce is finalized and the legal process concludes, many individuals are eager to move forward and leave the past behind. Divorce often marks the end of a long period of uncertainty and emotional strain. For many, receiving a divorce decree is a welcome relief as they look ahead to the next chapter of their lives.
However, life doesn’t stop after the divorce is finalized, and circumstances can change. At the Law Office of Lisa Collins Werner, we understand that family law matters often don’t end with the finalization of a divorce. Post-divorce issues may arise that require legal attention, and having an experienced attorney can help resolve these ongoing matters effectively.
One Change Can Affect Many Aspects of Your Life
Significant life changes, such as a change in employment—whether it’s a job loss, pay reduction, or a transfer to a new location—can directly impact existing agreements, such as child support payments. What was once an accurate monthly child support amount based on your previous income may now need to be adjusted to reflect your new financial situation.
Similarly, an out-of-state move can require modifications to child custody arrangements. A parent living in another state may not be able to maintain the same custody schedule due to the disruptions it could cause in the child’s schooling and the parents’ work schedules. In such cases, it may be more practical to adjust the schedule, such as having longer periods of parenting time during school vacations or summer months.
Whether your divorce was initially handled by a different attorney or you’re dealing with post-divorce issues for the first time, our firm is here to help. We offer personalized attention and care, ensuring that your legal needs are met with compassion and professionalism.
