Motion to Modify | Missouri Family Law
Motions to modify are really common cases in the family laws, we resolve. Take a child custody order for example, let’s say the court utters a child custody order, in some states it’s called a parenting plan. And then let’s say after the passage of time there is changed circumstances that have taken place, of a substantial and continuing in nature that make it really unreasonable that the parties continue to follow that parenting plan that is outdated at this point.
So a party can file a motion to modify, for example, to try to modify that parenting plan to make it current with what’s taking place at the present time. This could be with issues with spousal support and child support as well. In many cases, there is an order that’s entered as part of a case and it’s reasonable at that time but as years go by, circumstances change, maybe there is different jobs that parties have, that order becomes unreasonable at that certain point in time and that’s where a party again could consider a motion to modify to try to modify or amend that order to make it really current in terms of the current situation of the party. So, parties that are seeking help with a motion to modify, we can definitely help.
