Post Decree Modification
Whenever a spouse seeks to modify a Colorado divorce decree, they
must revisit that decree and renegotiate with their ex-spouse. Most of
the time, divorced parents solve child custody and visitation issues by
referring to their divorce decree.
However, situations sometimes arise that neither party predicted.
Sometimes, because of work or other issues, one parent wishes to
relocate. Perhaps there has been a change in your circumstances which
has caused to revisit your alimony or child support agreement. If you
want to modify your divorce decree for any reason, contact the Marrison Law Firm . We can advise you of your options and assist you finding a workable solution to your problems.
Child Custody Relocation
All US Citizens have the right to travel. Parents also have parental
rights. When deciding whether a person can relocate their children, the
court balances these two rights. They consider:
- The reason for the parent’s relocation
- The other parent’s objections
- The history and quality of the relations with the child since any previous order was issued
- Educational opportunities for the children
- Extended family in both the old and new locations
- The possibility of creating a parenting time schedule if the move takes place
- The impact of the move on the child
The court will also use other professionals, such as psychologists, to determine modification of parenting time.
Colorado Spousal Support and Child Support Modification
Motions to modify child support and alimony are allowed when there
has been a significant change in circumstances. The court usually
defines “a significant change” as at least a 10 percent increase or
decrease in the support amount. Maintenance may also change as the
level of need and ability to pay changes.
If you need to address something that was left out of your original
divorce decree, please contact an attorney at Marrison Law Firm. We
