POST-JUDGMENT MATTERS FOR DIVORCE, CUSTODY AND SUPPORT
Post Judgment Divorce Lawyers in New Jersey (NJ)
After your case has gone to court and a judgment has been entered, your matter unfortunately may not be settled and done. There are a number of reasons why you would need a divorce or family law attorney to assist you with your divorce, child custody, alimony, or child support matter even after the judgment of divorce has been entered. If your judgment has already been entered and you need to enforce your agreement, modify or supplement the terms, you may still have the opportunity to do so after the agreement has been executed.
Enforcement
After a divorce has been concluded there is still the possibility that your matter will remain active. One reason why your matter may need legal attention after the divorce is for enforcement of the judgment and settlement agreement. If your ex has violated the terms of your agreement, for example, if they failed to pay child support, alimony or insurance related expenses, you may need to file an enforcement motion with the court to force compliance.
Modification
After you enter into a divorce agreement, events in your life may arise which warrant a change to your existing agreement. There are occasions when a legal modification is appropriate to adjust to your present situation. For example, if you have retired from your job, been unable to find replacement employment after you lost your job, suffered a disability or your ex has had a significant increase in financial status since your divorce, you should contact our experienced post judgement attorneys to learn about your options for modification.
Matters Not Addressed in the Divorce Agreement
There are a variety of reasons why an issue was not addressed in a divorce agreement. It could be due to your haste to resolve your divorce matter or perhaps you put off certain decisions with the hopes that as time passed you would be able to amicably deal with future issues. The most common reason people go back to court post divorce is to determine who is responsible for the payment of a child’s education. Ideally, you would want to resolve this issue amicably by entering into a consent order with your spouse; however, if this is not possible our NJ post judgment attorneys can help you through every step of the process. We will make sure we educate you about your rights, responsibilities and discuss with you all available means for resolution.
