Los Angeles Custody and Support Modification Attorney
Life circumstances often change and these changes may necessitate the modification of original divorce judgments or settlements. Whether you are relocating to another area of the state or the country, your financial circumstances have changed, or other life-changing events have occurred in your life, it may be in your best interests and the best interests of your children to modify judgments concerning family law to address issues that arise after the divorce is final.
Obtaining a post-judgment modification to a divorce decree can be a complicated procedure. We understand the reasons that judgment modifications need to take place and will help you understand what your options are for presenting modifications to your ex-spouse and the family law court.
Reasons for Post-Judgment Modifications
Post-judgment modifications may be sought by former parties to a divorce for a variety of post-divorce issues, including changes in child custody, visitation rights, child relocation, spousal support/child support and complex property division. Palimony and cohabitation agreements may also be modified, provided that there are adequate reasons for the modifications.
Modifications may be required when:
- The custodial parent is no longer fit as a parent
- The custodial parent is incarcerated or is put into a mental institution
- The custodial or non-custodial parent moves out of the area
- Children develop special needs due to a disability or medical condition
- Significant income and/or employment changes occur

Cohen, Mr. Cohen can represent you when you or your ex-spouse’s or ex-domestic partner’s personal circumstances have changed and you require a post-judgment modification to deal with these changes. Mr. Cohen will provide an honest assessment of your situation and chances for achieving the modification.
