Types of Orders You Can Modify
​At Moisant Law Firm, we assist in modifying various family law orders, including:​
-
Child Custody Orders: If you or your co-parent have experienced significant life changes or if your child’s needs have shifted, a modification of custody may be necessary. Samantha Moisant ensures that any modifications are in the best interest of your child and protect your parental rights.
-
Child Support Orders: Significant changes in income or financial circumstances often require adjustments to child support obligations. Our New Orleans child custody attorney can guide you through this process, ensuring the changes reflect your current situation.
-
Spousal Support (Alimony): Adjustments to spousal support are sometimes necessary when there is a major change in either party’s income or living situation. Whether you are seeking to increase, decrease, or terminate spousal support, Samantha Moisant can help.
Why Modify a Court Order?
As time passes, a court order that once served your family well might no longer be practical. Modifying a court order can help address new life circumstances such as:
-
Changes in Income: A significant change in one party’s financial situation, such as job loss or a new employment opportunity, may require a modification of child support or spousal support to reflect the new reality.
-
Relocation: When one parent needs to move for work or personal reasons, a child custody or visitation schedule may need to be adjusted to accommodate the change in distance.
-
Evolving Needs of the Child: As children grow, their needs, schedules, and preferences often change. A custody arrangement that worked when they were younger may need to be adjusted to ensure it still serves the child’s best interests.
-
Health Issues or Changes in Lifestyle: If either parent or child experiences significant health issues or a major lifestyle shift, this could impact custody or support orders
