A non-adversarial method allows for a creative and flexible parenting plan that anticipates the future as your children grow.?Plus, you and your co-parent will learn enhanced communication skills; setting you up to reduce the stress on everyone – especially the kids.
CUSTODY & SUPPORT MODIFICATIONS
领英推荐
When the court finalized your?divorce, it issued a divorce decree.?That divorce decree is a final, enforceable court order.?But sometimes, some of that order just doesn’t work for you and your family, or your spouse may not be following the order.?Post-judgment?issues deal with?property division,?child support,?alimony,?and?parenting plans. The?Motion for Modification?and the?Motion for Contempt?are probably the most common motions filed post-divorce in Connecticut. Another common?Post Judgment motion?is the?Motion to Open the Judgment.
Freed Marcroft’s lawyers have the depth of knowledge and experience about family law, and with the Connecticut courts, to deploy the most strategic Post Judgment motions for you.?In fact, filing motions isn’t always a necessary (or even preferable) first course of action.?If you prefer to reach an agreement rather than?litigate,?mediation?and?collaborative law?are options to consider.?In those cases, we submit the agreement you’ve reached to the court so that it becomes an enforceable court order.?There are other creative solutions that may meet your needs and help you move forward without issues.?Freed Marcroft’s family law attorneys can explain the ins-and-outs, and put together a legal strategy for your modification - rooted in your goals.

CHILD SUPPORT
Child support?stems from parents’ duty to support their children. The?Connecticut Child Support Guidelines?contain a mathematical formula to determine child support. But that's not the end of the story. Importantly, courts can "deviate" from the default child support calculation. If you are currently paying or receiving child support and there has been?a?substantial change in circumstances, you may also be able to get a?Post Judgment?child support modification. Your Freed Marcroft legal team will help you understand the ins-and-outs of child support and will design a child support strategy individualized to you, your goals, and your family.
