Utah Divorce Modification Attorneys
In Utah, you have the right to modify your divorce decree when life changes, whether that means a new custody arrangement, a shift in income, or changes in support payments. Our team is here to help you file a motion to modify your divorce decree and make sure the court understands why the current order no longer works.
We’ll discuss the process step by step, explain what the court needs, and help you present a strong case. The new order will reflect your current reality and meet all of Utah’s legal standards.
Post-Divorce Modification Services in Utah
Modifying Child Custody or Visitation
If your work schedule, your child’s school needs, or personal life has changed, you need to update your custody plan. We’ll help you file a request to modify your divorce decree that will prioritize your child and keep the situation under control for both parents.
Modifying Alimony (Spousal Support)
Major life events like a new job, job loss, remarriage, or a financial shift can mean it's time to look at alimony again. We'll review your situation, let you know if you qualify for a change, and take care of the court paperwork for you.
Enforcing Modified Orders
Once the divorce decree modification is approved by the court, the new order must be followed. If your ex-spouse doesn't follow the rules, we'll help you take steps, such as garnishment or filing a contempt of court complaint, to put things back in order.
Modifying Child Support
If your income, the other parent’s income, or the custody arrangement has changed, Utah law accepts child support recalculations. We make sure your new support order is based on accurate numbers and in line with state guidelines.
Responding to a Modification Request
If your former spouse has filed a petition to modify the divorce decree, we’ll help you respond effectively, protecting your rights and making sure the court understands your side of the story.
