Common Reasons for Post-Divorce Modification of a Final Divorce Settlement in New Jersey

A final divorce settlement agreement will usually cover a wide range of issues, from alimony, child support and property division to child custody and visitation. While a divorce is commonly referred to as “final”, the terms of a divorce settlement agreement can be modified for a variety of reasons. The attorneys at Cordry Hartman, LLC have a proven track record of successfully obtaining post-divorce modification of final divorce settlements. Our experienced family law attorneys can work to modify the terms of a marital settlement agreement to change:

• A child custody arrangement,
• The amount of required alimony payments,
• The terms of an alimony arrangement,
• The terms of a child support agreement,
• Required payments toward a child’s education,
• Child emancipation.

The need to modify alimony arrangements is one that arises very commonly post-divorce. The party who is required to pay alimony may wish to have the payment amount modified, or the requirement to pay alimony terminated entirely, because of changing life circumstances. Some of the more common reasons for modifying an alimony arrangement include:

• Retirement: If the spouse who was originally required to pay alimony has retired in good faith, and thus no longer has the same income level, that spouse may petition for modification of the alimony agreement.
• Cohabitation: In many cases, an alimony agreement will terminate upon the remarriage of the recipient spouse. However, a paying spouse may request modification or termination if it can be shown that the recipient spouse is cohabitating with another person who provides significant support.
• Unemployment: In some cases, the paying spouse will lose his or her job, or end up in a situation where he or she is earning less income than when the divorce was finalized. Modification of an alimony agreement may be justifiable under these circumstances.

The Lawyers at Cordry Hartman, LLC Provide Effective Legal Representation to Assist Clients With Post-Divorce Issues in Moorestown, NJ

At Cordry Hartman, LLC, we understand that your life continues to change even after your marital settlement agreement has been finalized. In order to obtain a post-divorce modification, our attorneys will work to clearly lay out the circumstances that have changed in your life in order to convince a judge that a modification is warranted. If your former spouse has failed to comply with the terms of your divorce settlement, we will fight to establish that you have notified your former spouse of his or her default and obtain a judgment from the court to enforce your former spouse’s obligations. An enforcement order may be required to ensure that one spouse complies with the terms of the settlement agreement by:

• Requiring transfer of assets to his or her former spouse, as specified by the terms of the settlement agreement,
• Paying for a child’s college education, because a parent can be held financially responsible for a child’s college costs in New Jersey based on the parent’s income and assets,
• Paying required alimony or child support payments.

In some cases, post-divorce issues can be resolved through mediation, while other issues will require formal court intervention. In either case, our attorneys are skilled at successfully negotiating to obtain the best possible result in post-divorce modification and enforcement cases.
