Post-Decree Modification/Enforcement

Los Angeles Post-Decree Modification Lawyer

If circumstances have changed since your divorce or child custody order went into effect, California courts will consider an application for post-decree modification of the terms of custody, alimony/spousal support, or child support. It is also necessary in some cases to call on the courts to enforce the terms of a decree. Attorneys at our Los Angeles family law firm, Stolar & Associates, protect our clients and their children during modification proceedings.

If you would like to speak with one of our lawyers about modification or enforcement of your decree, please contact our L.A. office to arrange a free consultation about your situation. Our attorneys have been representing families in the Los Angeles area county courts, including those in Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange Counties, for over twenty years.

Post-decree modification of child custody

As a child grows or the circumstances of parents change, terms of custody and visitation may need to change accordingly. Our lawyers have successfully demonstrated to the court that our client's request to change or maintain the current parenting plan is in the best interests of the child. Examples of significant change include:

  • A child's school hours, sports, or other activities require a change in the parenting plan
  • A child is at risk because of abuse or inappropriate activities in the other parent's home
  • One parent is planning to relocate out of state
  • As a child matures, he or she voices a desire for change in the custody arrangements

Emergency hearings, ex parte proceedings

If you feel your child is at risk if he or she returns to the other parent's home, our attorneys will request that the court take immediate action while the matter is investigated. Contact our Los Angeles County office and discuss an ex parte proceeding.

Post-decree modification of alimony/spousal support/child support

If the terms of your divorce or dissolution of domestic partnership include a provision for alimony or child support, and either you, your ex's, or your child's needs or resources have changed significantly since the decree, you may be eligible for modification of the support decree.

Enforcement of payment of debt or support decrees

Our lawyers have successfully helped our clients in cases where an ex refused to pay the portion of marital debt assigned by the court or failed to pay child or spousal support.
