Long Island Divorce Modifications Lawyer

Trust the team at Rubenfeld Law Firm!

After the court issues an order, be it a child custody, alimony, or visitation order, it can have such a ring of finality to it that people often forget that they are allowed to ask for a modification. Even still, modification requests can be tricky and should be pursued with the assistance of a Long Island divorce lawyer.

How do I request a court modification?

As you seek modification, you must ensure that your petition is presented in a clear and effective manner within the family law court. The court wants to see that a significant change in circumstances has occurred before they grant a modification of any kind. Although this significant change can vary from case to case, many changes are extremely common.

Demonstrating this change in circumstances is considered the 'burden of proof.' This means that it is your responsibility to show the court why you need modified orders and if children are involved, why it would be in their best interest
