Skilled, Thorough Help With Family Court Modifications

Life changes constantly and court orders should accurately reflect these changes. From child custody and child support to maintenance/alimony, your court orders should change with continuing and substantially changing in life circumstances. However, it’s important to seek the right help when requesting a modification, which is often as complex as the dissolution. We are well-equipped to help with these situations in St. Louis County and surrounding areas.

We have the skill and wealth of experience you need to successfully make a change to a court order.

When Can I Request Modifications To A Child Custody Or Support Arrangement In Missouri?

You can petition the court for a custody or support modification whenever there is a continuing and significant change in circumstances that affects the best interests of your child. There are many reasons to request a modification to a custody or support agreement. A few of the most common include:

  • Changes to financial status – like losing a job
  • Relocation
  • Health Issues
  • Remarriage
  • Child preference or change in child’s needs

These are just a very few reasons you might seek a modification. We can give you more information on when it’s appropriate to request a modification in your specific situation.

Do I Need To Go To Court To Get A Modification?

Changes to a support or custody arrangement do need to be approved by the court. If you and the other party agree on the terms, you can submit your agreement to a judge without a formal hearing, but a judge still needs to sign and issue the modification order. We provide more insight into this process, as well as represent you in court to advocate for your modification interests.
