Detroit Area Divorce Modifications Attorney
Assisting Family Law Clients in the Modification or Enforcement of Court Orders
Child Custody • Spousal Support • Child Support
After a divorce decree has been issues or a parenting time agreement has been put in place, changes may still need to take place. Spousal support, child support and child custody documents are not necessarily final. They can be subject to modification or enforcement if a substantial change in circumstances or a lack of follow-through becomes a concern.
At the Legal Center of Jack L. Jaffe, we recognize that our representation of clients does not always end when original agreements are finalized or decrees are issued. Sometimes changes need to take place to continue to protect the best interests of our clients and their children. With more than 25 years of experience working with family law clients, we have the skills and resources necessary to effectively guide you through the processes of modification or enforcement.

Post-judgment Modifications
In some cases, things change significantly after divorce. A child may need additional financial support for a medical condition or extra-curricular activities. A former spouse may lose their job. A parent may need to relocate.
As your legal representatives, we will work to fully develop the facts supporting your need for modification or why a proposed change in a divorce decree or parenting plan, brought about by a former partner, may not support our your best interests. We are experienced in pursuing or defending post-judgment modifications, involving child custody and visitation or spousal and child support.
Enforcement and Contempt of Court Actions
When your child's other parent refuses to comply with visitation agreements or fails to pay child support, he or she is in contempt of court. The same can be said of former spouses who stop paying court-ordered spousal maintenance. If you find yourself on either side of these circumstances, we can help.
Our firm assists parents and former spouses in petitioning the courts for enforcement actions involving child custody, child support or spousal support. We also defend those who may have been wrongfully accused of failing to follow through with their obligations. To speak with a lawyer about your options surrounding enforcement of orders, contact us today.
