Modification of Judgements

What does "modification" or "modification of judgments" mean?
Modification means legally changing an original court ordered judgment and terms. After a divorce or a child custody settlement, any changes to the judgment must be finalized in court. Even if you are able to amicably accommodate the changes, the original judgment and terms still legally apply—changes need to be officially recognized by the court. Many events can cause the need for modifications, including a need to change when visitation occurs, a need to change when a child is going to have vacation with a non-custodial parent, when the custodial parent wishes to move the residence of the child more than 100 miles from the court house, job relocation, a change in job requiring a change in the amount of child support or spousal support, etc.

Attorney Robert Nickerson will help you when modifications are necessary. Please contact his law firm at (810) 987-3009 or fill out our contact form.
