Somerset County Child Support Modification Lawyers
Warren, New Jersey, Support Enforcement Attorneys
After a divorce is finalized, certain arrangements for child support, custody, spousal support, and parenting time will become part of an enforceable court order. However, these matters may be subject to modification should there be a substantial change in circumstances. At Shimalla, Wechsler, Lepp & D'Onofrio, LLP we have significant experience in helping individuals and families modify or enforce divorce and custody related court orders.
Changing Child Custody and Parenting Time
If there has been a substantial change in circumstances since the divorce and a change in custody, or in the parenting schedule is in the best interest of the child or children, the court may change or modify the original custody arrangement. Custody orders and agreements addressing custody and parenting time may have to be revisited if one parent wants to relocate. Our attorneys have handled numerous custody and parenting time/visitation disputes and will represent your interests in any motion to modify child custody or change the terms of a parenting plan.
Increasing Child or Spousal Support
After an order for child or spousal support has been issued, a change of circumstances may qualify you for an increase in payments. Whether your former spouse has a new and better-paying job, or your child has an increased financial need, you may be entitled to an increased amount of support. Our attorneys will assist in the assessment of any changed circumstances to demonstrate the need for a child support or spousal support modification. We are skilled in presenting the facts on behalf of our clients to demonstrate the need for a support increase.

Reducing or terminating child or spousal support
If, pursuant to a court order, judgment or agreement, you owe child or spousal support and find yourself in changed circumstances that have left you unable to meet these obligations at the original level, our attorneys can help you seek reduction. Many people find themselves unable to pay as a result of an injury, job loss, or extraordinary health care needs. If you find yourself unable to pay court ordered support, it is critical that you obtain legal services as soon as possible. We can assist you in avoiding mounting arrearages, or even possible incarceration. In other instances, a termination of support might be appropriate due to emancipation of a child, remarriage of your former spouse, cohabitation or other circumstances. Contact our office if you are interested in learning more about whether you are entitled to a reduction or termination of a child support or spousal support obligation.
