Modifying Child Support with a Lawyer's Help
As time passes after a child support order is issued, family circumstances sometimes change. With them, a need for child support or an ability to pay often changes. In New York State, courts grant modifications of child support when there is a change in circumstances that was not anticipated when the original divorce agreement or child support order was issued.
At the Law Office of Andrew J. Spinnell, in New York City, our attorneys help individuals make upward and downward modifications of child support orders. We handle orders that were made in conjunction with a divorce as well as child support orders issued outside of the marital relationship.
Guiding You Through the Legal System
Many people are nervous about going back to court to resolve family law disputes — especially if they must face an estranged spouse after a divorce. While New York requires that you and your ex-spouse or partner attend every court appearance, it may be possible to make special accommodations, like putting you both in separate conference rooms, to negotiate an agreement.
Our lawyers will attend hearings with you, protecting your interests and making sure that things run as smoothly as possible. We will also spend time counseling you on what to expect and do before going to court, so that you can look forward to achieving the best possible results.
