Post Judgment Proceedings

Divorce Attorney in Manhattan

After a divorce or legal separation is finalized there are many circumstances that could warrant a change to a court ordered agreement.  This is especially true if children are involved or alimony is to be paid.  Child custody and visitation may need to be modified.  One of the parents may have to relocate due to an employment opportunity or they could get re-married.  Either your income or the income of your ex-spouse may have dramatically changed which could alter child support or spousal support (commonly referred to as "Alimony") payments.

In some instances an ex-spouse endangers their child or acts in a threatening manner to you.  If this is the case an order of protection would be needed.  This would also be a valid reason for child custody or visitation arrangements to be altered.  If equitable distribution of assets has not been carried out fairly or your ex-spouse is delinquent in paying support, actions need to be taken to enforce compliance.  Regardless of whether you require a modification to your divorce agreement, are against a modification your ex-spouse has requested or need assistant in the enforcement of support payments, a Manhattan Divorce Lawyer should be retained for any post judgment proceedings.
