Changing a Support, Custody or Visitation Order
A divorce decree represents the final resolution of such matters as child support, spousal support, child custody and visitation and is the document which regulates these issues from that date forward. However, if you are dissatisfied with your divorce decree and are seeking to modify its terms you need a knowledgeable attorney to achieve your goals.
At Randal A. Lowry & Associates, we frequently represent clients seeking modifications in support, custody and visitation. When a modification is straight-forward, we can often obtain it efficiently and cost-effectively. Some modification matters however, present complex issues of fact or law and require substantial legal effort to achieve favorable results.

Modifications in Child Support
A parent can seek a child support modification when there has been a significant change in income, custody arrangements or the needs of a child. If both parents are salaried employees and the circumstances are straight-forward, we can usually obtain a modification efficiently.
If a parent is self-employed, attempting to hide income, or intentionally working at a level below his or her capabilities, extra efforts are needed to establish the facts. Our firm can engage a forensic accountant or vocational expert in order to impute income for the purposes of establishing the child support level.
Child Custody and Visitation
What happens when a parent's job duties change, requiring him or her to work longer hours or on a different shift? When it involves a relatively simple modification request such as this, we can attempt to negotiate an acceptable solution with the attorney for the other parent.
Other cases can be much more contentious, such as a proposed child relocation. Our firm will carefully review the circumstances of your case and to discuss your legal options. If necessary, we will litigate assertively to protect your rights and achieve your goals.
You can also appeal any family law order, whether it is an original order or a modification. Randal A. Lowry & Associates has handled a significant number of family law appeals and will represent you with skill and determination.
