Divorce Modifications

Portland Divorce Modifications Lawyers

A finalized divorce decree is not necessarily final. Life changes. Circumstances involving jobs or illnesses can mandate changes in the divorce decree. The divorce modifications lawyers at DeBast McFarland and Richardson help clients with issues that involve modification of their divorce decree.

Consider that certain aspects of your divorce may be a work in progress that reflects your current financial and professional situation. Things can change in an instant. When that happens, contact a divorce modifcation attorney at 503-297-9600.

When You Are in Need of a Modification

With changes in the economy that resulted in a financial downturn for many families, more of our clients are seeking alimony or child support modifications. Paying too much while out of work or ill is devastating to the payor. The prospect of receiving less money can be terrifying to the recipient. At DeBast McFarland and Richardson, we can help you resolve these potentially contentious post-divorce issues.

Hands-On Representation and Candid Communication

We treat each divorce modification case individually, communicating your options to you and the potential impact to your ex-spouse. We identify the issue that brought our client to our office. A job could be lost. Medical problems arise. Children become adults.

Merely wanting to pay less is not a valid reason for a divorce decree modification, but substantial changes in circumstances may be. We will identify your options and help you move forward with the best strategy. Financial support should not be a burden and cause additional stress.
