Long Island Divorce Modification Lawyer

Support and Custody Modifications in Long Island

There are circumstances when it will be necessary to seek a modification of child support, child custody or spousal support. In these cases, it is important to work with a lawyer who can work to assist you in obtaining the modification you need or defending you against a frivolous modification. A Long Island divorce modification lawyer at The Kepanis Law Firm can step in and work to protect your interests in this matter, assisting you in reaching a custody or support modification that works best for your current circumstances.

When life takes a major turn, the divorce or separation agreement or judgment originally reached may be inconvenient or impossible. Loss of job, dramatic income changes, remarriage, drug abuse, domestic violence and an out-of-state move may all be reasons to seek a modification of support or custody. Not all changes in circumstances may qualify for a modification; the change must be significant enough to warrant a modification. If you are facing a situation where your current child custody, visitation or support agreement is not working, you should consider talking to an attorney about your options in seeking a modification.

The burden of proof in a Long Island divorce modification may be particularly high, so preparation is of the utmost importance.  Your Long Island divorce lawyer will need to work to gather evidence and information that supports your case in seeking or challenging a modification. For any matter involving a child or children, the court will want to rule in the best interests of the child, and your attorney will need to take this into account when preparing your case. The Kepanis Law Firm has the experience and resources to properly assist you with your modification case.
