California’s courts grant modifications for many reasons so long as there is a change of circumstances warranting the modification. At MNB, our lawyers for post-judgment modifications have handled cases where modifications were sought or granted based on the following:

• Relocation request of a parent that is not in the child’s best interest;
• Discovery of the failure by one party to disclose proceeds of the sale of assets obtained during marriage;
• A change in the schedule of the minor child where the child is now living more with one parent than the other;
• Changes in income of one or both parties affecting the ability to pay, or the need to receive, support;
• Increase in a minor child’s medical care or education needs;
• A spouse was cohabitating with a new significant other who was paying that spouse’s expenses despite the spouse still receiving spousal support;
• Domestic Violence committed by one parent against the other;
• Failure of one party to agree upon the division of personal property assets despite an agreement that both parties would cooperate in obtaining the division and delivery of the assets based on the agreement they were to reach; and
• Countless other reasons that affected either the support obligations (new employment, implementation of a bonus plan, loss of an income stream, etc.) or custodial timeshare (new child born to one parent, loss of childcare, extracurricular activities participation change, etc.) previously ordered.
