Cleveland Child Support Modification Attorney

Ohio Child Support Lawyer

Significant changes in life circumstances, such as losing a job, re-marrying or moving can require a modification of an existing child custody or child support agreement. It is best not to make an informal arrangement with the other party on your own. While that person may be willing to accommodate you today, they can bring a contempt order against you tomorrow for violating your existing court order. Instead, you can obtain solid legal advice from a family law lawyer at Slive & Slive, L.P.A.

Expertise for All Types of Modifications

Our attorneys can seek modifications for:

• Child custody/visitation: If a parent is moving or has a new job with a significant change in schedule, a modification of an existing child custody/visitation order may be needed. If your child is being abused or neglected, or a parent is abusing drugs or alcohol, it is especially urgent that you seek the help of an attorney
• Child support: If a parent loses a job or receives a significant pay raise, a modification of support can be sought. The parent bringing a support modification case to court will need to prove the change in circumstances.
• Spousal support/spousal maintenance/alimony: While a modification of alimony is much less common, a significant reduction in income by the person paying alimony, or a new job, remarriage or improved financial situation for the spouse receiving support may make a modification of alimony necessary.
• Award of Child Dependency Excemption: This allocation can save clients money each year in a larger tax refund.
