When Will the Court Grant a Modification?

Courts will not grant modifications arbitrarily – they will look to see that a substantial change in circumstances necessitates changing your existing agreement. The court will review several factors before approving or denying your request for modification.

Common reasons for requesting a divorce order modification include:

• Substantial increase or decrease in income, including job loss
• Long-term illness
• Disability
• A former spouse remarries
• Changes in a child’s needs
• Evidence of physical or emotional abuse (safety concerns)
• Alcohol or drug dependency

Regardless of your specific situation, attorney Cho will work hard to sway the court and help you get the results you need.
