Naperville Modification Lawyer

Naperville Modification Attorney

Because it is impossible to predict the future, modifications to existing divorce agreements are often necessary to reflect the ever-changing lives of the parties involved. Custody, child support and alimony agreements may all be modified if there has been a substantial change in circumstances since your divorce judgment.

At Schaffer Family Law, Ltd., we will keep your best interests in mind as we work to achieve the resolution you need.

Modifying Illinois Divorce and Support Agreements

In today’s unstable economy, circumstances beyond your control may make it difficult to fulfill financial obligations to your child. Many find themselves in situations where it has become increasingly burdensome to fulfill child support and alimony obligations. Others are suffering following a job loss or pay decrease and therefore cannot fully provide for their children with existing child support orders.

As your attorney, David will look at your case to determine if you are eligible for a modification. A substantial change in circumstances warranting a child support modification may include:

• Job loss
• Substantial increase or decrease in income
• Other major life change

Our Naperville office can also help you modify an existing child custody or visitation agreement. If you believe a modification would be in the best interests of your child, we will work with you to discuss your options.

Circumstances where a custody or visitation agreement can be modified include:

• Child abuse allegations
• Endangerment to the child’s mental, physical or emotional well-being
• Criminal behavior by a parent or child
