Post-Decree Modifications

When life changes, your court order should, too.

Life doesn’t stand still after a divorce or custody order is finalized. Changes in income, work schedules, parenting responsibilities, or a child’s needs can make existing court orders outdated or unworkable. When that happens, you need a clear legal strategy to ensure your court order reflects your current reality.

Post-Decree Modifications is designed to help you modify parenting time, child support, or spousal maintenance with expert legal guidance. Whether you need to adjust an agreement due to a job change, relocation, or a shift in your child’s needs, Johnson/Turner is here to help you navigate the process efficiently and confidently.

Why Choose this path

What Is a Post-Decree Modification?

A post-decree modification is a legal process to update an existing divorce or custody order. Modifications are necessary when a substantial change in circumstances makes the current court order unfair, unmanageable, or no longer in a child’s best interest.

Common reasons for modifying a court order include:
Changes in income – A job loss, promotion, or significant financial shift
Relocation – One parent moving out of the area
Changes in parenting time – A child’s needs or schedule require an adjustment
Medical or educational needs – Increased expenses for a child’s healthcare or schooling
Safety concerns – If a child’s well-being is at risk under the current arrangement

At Johnson/Turner, we work with you to assess whether a modification is legally justified and guide you through the process to achieve a fair resolution.
