Sound Legal Guidance For Post-Divorce Modifications In Georgia
After a divorce, life often brings new circumstances that may require changes to your original divorce decree. Georgia law allows you to pursue post-divorce modifications to make sure your agreements reflect current realities.
At Baskin & Baskin, P.C., attorney Carol Baskin has over 40 years of experience helping clients across northern Georgia with these modifications. She understands how to craft fair and legally sound adjustments that align with their changing lives.
What Circumstances Allow For A Post-Divorce Modification?
Life after divorce is not static, and certain changes can make it essential to adjust the original agreement. Here are common situations in which a post-divorce modification may be appropriate:
- Child support adjustments
- Changes in child custody or parenting time
- Alimony modifications
A post-divorce modification is an effective way to keep your agreements relevant to your current situation and support the well-being of everyone involved.
When Should You Apply For A Modification?
Timing can be critical when considering a post-divorce modification. It is generally wise to seek a modification as soon as a significant change in circumstances arises.
For example, Georgia courts will not backdate changes in child support, alimony or custody orders to an earlier date, so prompt action helps make sure that the adjustment reflects current needs as soon as possible. Acting quickly can also prevent potential disputes and complications, giving you a smoother path to the updated terms you require.
