Worcester Modification Lawyers
Serving Worcester, Middlesex and Hampden Counties
Life changes, and sometimes the custody, support, or alimony order that made sense a few years ago no longer fits your family’s situation. Rudolf, Griffis, Ruggieri & Murray helps clients request modifications when circumstances have genuinely changed, and helps clients respond when the other party is seeking one.
Courts do not modify orders lightly, so building a clear case for why the change is necessary matters from the start.
When A Modification May Be Appropriate
- A significant change in either parent’s income.
- A parent relocating for work or family reasons.
- A change in the child’s needs, such as medical or educational requirements.
- Job loss or a change in employment status.
- Remarriage or a change in household composition.
What You Need To Show The Court
Massachusetts requires a material change in circumstances before a court will modify an existing order. That means documenting the change clearly, whether it is a pay stub showing a new income, a lease showing a relocation, or medical records showing a child’s changed needs.
We help clients gather the right documentation and present a case that gives the court a clear reason to act.
