We have an Agreement – Why do We need to go to Court?

A modification to a divorce settlement term requires official recognition by the court. This is especially important to remember as children grow older and both parents start new lives. Too often, parents grow comfortable with an informal change to custody or support arrangements and let them go unnoticed without finalizing them in a court of law.

However, when tempers flare and old wounds re-open, parents can find themselves quickly back in court when an angry ex-spouse decides to take legal action to punish them for violating the terms of their divorce. That’s why, as your attorney, I take the steps necessary to finalize relocation, custody, spousal or child support modification.

Providing Direction

Whether you’re amending a divorce decree or engaged in a child custody modification, there are documents and records you’ll need for the court’s consideration. Remember, the court will always consider what is in the best of the children first. So, even if you and your former spouse have agreed to a modification, you will have to establish its advisability first in the mind of the court.

As your lawyer and as an attorney with over 20 years of experience – including 9 years spent as a judge – I understand what the court wants, how it wants it, and what is necessary to make a convincing case. As a sole practitioner, I perform all the work on my cases and do not use paralegals or assistants to prepare cases. That means you’ll always know what I know and will never have to worry about information getting lost in the shuffle.
