Post-Divorce Litigation
Lawyers experienced with Post-Divorce Litigation
After a divorce is final, what can be done to change the court's order if circumstances change? At our family law firm in Providence, Rhode Island, we help clients who are dealing with changes that can and should modify the final decree.
Child custody, support, visitation: Post-divorce, there are many issues that can arise that will affect the court's orders.
-
If one parent moves to another state, the relocation will probably affect custody and visitation agreements.
-
When substance abuse or mental health issues affect a parent's ability to handle the obligations of custody or visitation, the court orders need to be changed.
-
If the needs of the child change—medical or education needs, for example—there may be a need to adjust custody, visitation, or child support in a post-divorce action.
-
When financial circumstances change—a significant rise or fall in income, for example— child support may require a post-divorce adjustment.
Division of marital assets: The divorce is final, but additional property division issues arise. A post-divorce litigation attorney at our firm can help you.
-
When one party fails to disclose marital assets, there may be cause to re-open the property division matter.
-
A deliberate or unintentional failure to list the full value of an asset can lead to a change in the property division.
-
In the business valuation, was all appropriate data disclosed? Was the business valuation fair?
-
Has the reorganization of the marital business failed to operate as planned in the agreement?
