Pennsylvania Child Support and Custody Modifications

Whether through job loss, promotion, increased health care coverage costs or increased or decreased needs of the children, a change in financial circumstances can significantly affect your ability to support your child — whether you are the recipient of Child Support or are ordered to pay support. When life changes, the attorneys at Brant & Associates, P.C. can help you ensure that existing Child Custody and Support orders reflect the current situation.

Our family lawyers provide experienced, dedicated and professional legal counsel to clients facing difficult Family Law problems. Whether requesting or challenging a modification in Child Support or Child Custody, we work diligently to ensure family court orders reflect the current needs of your family.

Child Support Modifications

A modification to Child Support may be warranted if there is a significant change in financial circumstances, such as if either parent experiences an increase or decrease in income, if the financial needs of the child change — such as if day care expenses, unpaid health care expenses or expenses related to the special needs of a child significantly increase or decrease — or if there is a significant change in the parenting plan that affects the percentage of time the child spends with each parent. Incarceration of the parent ordered to pay support and emancipation of the child being supported may also be considered valid reasons to modify an existing Pennsylvania Child Support order.

Our Canonsburg Child Support Modification lawyers guide clients through the legal process of pursuing or challenging Child Support Modifications in Pennsylvania.

Child Custody and Visitation Modifications

Either parent can request a modification of the existing Child Custody or Visitation order when there is a material and substantial change in circumstances. A Modification to Child Custody orders may be necessary when children's needs change as they get older, when parents want more time with their children or when a parent decides to move away out of the state of Pennsylvania. Modification of an existing Child Custody order may also be necessary when one parent is concerned about the other parent's alcohol or drug use, or is concerned about the child's safety when with the other parent.

As in any other Child Custody proceeding in Pennsylvania, the court's focus in Child Custody Modification proceedings is on the best interests of the child/children. Our law firm is experienced in guiding clients through Child Custody Modification issues, whether the case can be negotiated or requires fierce representation in court.
