Not everyone has a high awareness of the legal provisions and possible arrangements when seeking modifications to an Oregon divorce judgment. Although a need to modify child support and/or spousal support payments — due to job loss or another significant change — is the most common need, we are equally prepared to offer counsel on your desire for a modification of custody and/or parenting time. Please contact us today with your questions or concerns.
Acting Decisively When You See Your Children at Risk
Attorney Todd R. Worthley has extensive experience dealing with child relocation matters as well as the need for a custody modification based on:
- Domestic violence allegations — both valid and invalid — that may lead to restraining orders and influence any divorce judgment or enable a modification later on
- A son or daughter getting in trouble with the police or other authorities, failing to thrive in school, or otherwise not adapting well in the current custody arrangement
- A custodial parent's development or continuation of alcohol and drug abuse, mental health problems, or other behaviors and conditions that put children at risk
