Post-Decree Modifications & Enforcement

Here for You When Changes Happen

Post-Decree Modifications and Enforcement in Northern Cook County

After parties in a divorce come to an agreement or court-ordered arrangement about matters of child custody and parenting time, child support or spousal support, changes often occur in the lives of one or both of the parties and those of the children. Any time a substantial change in circumstances occurs, it is often necessary to request modification or enforcement of the original agreement.

At The Law Offices of Lynn A. Cohen, we help our clients modify their original divorce agreements in order to meet the changing needs of their lives or the lives of their children. Our firm assists clients through the process of post-decree modification and child support enforcement in a cost-effective and efficient manner. Our firm has practiced family law for over 25 years and is dedicated to finding fair resolutions for each of our clients.

The Law Offices of Lynn A. Cohen offers a free initial phone consultation and a discounted in-office consultation. Contact our firm or call 847-674-3000 to set up an appointment.

Post-Decree Modification and Enforcement Issues

There are many areas where a post-decree modification may be necessary. These can include:

• Spousal support/alimony modification
• Child support modification
• Child custody or visitation modification
• Financial-related issues, such as a child going to college or medical expenses

A modification may happen whenever a substantial change in circumstances arises, including a change in employment status, relocation, medical issues or other life-changing events.

Child support enforcement and other means of enforcement may happen when:

• A party is not paying child support, or is not paying for medical needs or day care expenses
• A party is not returning a child on time, or is not taking proper care of the child
• A party is not paying off the distribution of assets, such as refinancing the family home

Our firm takes child support enforcement and other post-decree enforcement seriously, and as with all child-related matters, puts the best interests of the child first. Our attorneys work to mediate disputes in modification and child support enforcement when possible, but we will also fight for your rights in court if it is necessary.

For cost-effective and efficient post-decree enforcement and modification, contact our firm today by e-mail or at 847-674-3000.
