Efficient, Versatile Family Law Attorney in Birmingham
No one can accurately predict what personal setbacks, accomplishments and gains, or other changes in circumstances will occur in the years after a divorce. If some major change — from a job loss or cutback to a serious problem with your child or a parent's need to relocate — has occurred in your life, acting quickly to learn your legal options is extremely important.
Child Support, Alimony, or Custody Changes — Dealing with Parental Relocation
At The Oncale Firm, located near UAB in Birmingham and serving men and women throughout Jefferson, Shelby and St. Clair counties, we know Alabama family law. Contact us now if you need to:
- Petition for a modification of child support due to factors such as your own job loss or other major financial setback, your ex-spouse's increased income, or a substantial change in your children's needs
- Seek a reduction in your alimony obligation because of adverse financial circumstances
- Pursue a custody change or modification of visitation arrangements to serve the best interests of your children
- Know and protect your rights if you or your ex-spouse is considering a move
Prompt Action Can Be Essential to Avoiding Serious, Lasting Consequences
Unfortunately, many people delay seeking justified changes in child support or alimony after a job loss or other setback. Waiting can have devastating consequences, and acting on trust in the word of your ex-spouse is a major risk. If you cannot pay, you will owe — unless you take appropriate legal action. Under Alabama law, family support obligations continue to accrue with each pay period and orders cannot be modified "in arrears."
In addition to honest and clear advice on obtaining a post-divorce change in child support or alimony/spousal support, experienced lawyer Shane Oncale is prepared to evaluate your case for a custody change. This can be a complex endeavor, requiring clear demonstration of how the custody change is necessary and in the child's best interest. However, you can depend on our diligence and determination when your kids' futures and your peace of mind are on the line.
