Post-Judgment Issues

Post-Judgment Issues Involving Children / Enforcement and Other Post-Judgment Issues

In a divorce, the initial decision is not always the end of the line.  Many people erroneously believe that the day their divorce becomes final they will never need an attorney again in relation to their divorce.  Even if you employed other attorneys during your original divorce, you can call the Steele Law Firm to discuss your post-judgment issues.

Post-Judgment Issues Involving Children

In divorces that involve minor children, all issues surrounding the children must be resolved at the time of the divorce.  Unfortunately, issues involving minor children do not always end on the date of divorce.  Circumstances often arise after the divorce that can result in one or both of the parties seeking to modify the original order.

Under certain circumstances, you can seek to modify the judgment that was entered in your case, including the provisions dealing with child support, visitation, or custody.  This modification can be due to changes in financial status or lifestyle.  What was best for your child at one point in time may not be best for your child at another.

Enforcement and Other Post-Judgment Issues

In addition to modification of a prior order, it is often necessary to seek legal assistance to enforce the terms and conditions of an existing order.  Probably the most common enforcement issues are nonpayment of child support and failure to comply with established periods of placement or visitation.  Other post divorce issues include transfer and delivery of property, enforcement of the property division, and division of marital assets not divided at the time of divorce.
