Newton Divorce Modification Attorney 

Modifying Divorce Agreements in Middlesex County

Do you need to modify an existing order of child support, child custody, alimony, or visitation? In order to do so, you must have a material change of circumstances to request a modification. At The Halks Firm, we are skilled at presenting a request for modification or defending an agreement if your ex is requesting something that is unreasonable.

Do I Have Grounds to Modify My Divorce?

Commonly modified issues include alimony, health insurance, and child-related issues (such as payment of expenses, including college expenses). It is advised you submit your modification to the court for approval, even if you and your ex-spouse agree.

Along with filing a complaint of modification, you may also be able to file a “motion for reconsideration” or a “motion to set aside.” The former will ask the judge to review the decisions made and make changes. These can be due to newly discovered evidence, a legal mistake, or fraud. On the other hand, a motion to set aside can ask the judge to suspend a custody or support order.

Examples of material changes of circumstances include:

  • A major move
  • A job change that affects the custody agreement
  • A change in income that affects a support order
  • The remarriage or cohabitation of a spouse receiving alimony
  • A child becomes emancipated and no longer needs support
  • The needs of a child become greater (due to factors such as disease or disability)
  • Loss of health insurance

At The Halks Firm, we provide proven legal representation for those seeking modifications to divorce. Contact our firm by calling (781) 995-0107 today.

    “It was the hardest experience in my life but Attorney Halks was my savior from day one.”
    I recently got divorced. I went through serious trauma in my married life and It was the hardest experience in my life but Attorney Halks was my savior from day one. From the initial consultation to post divorce he was there for me. He and his legal team were always there whenever I reached out, and had answers to my concerns within minutes. I genuinely appreciate his efforts to resolve the situation peacefully, though my ex-wife was literally abusive. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. Thanks a lot Attorney Halks !!!

    “Nick was able to understand my situation and to put my child’s best interests as the top priority.”
    I hired Nick last February when an urgent family matter occurred. Throughout the year, Nick and his team has helped me at each step of the process regarding to my child custody case. Nick is a professional, knowledgeable, detail-oriented attorney who takes his clients’ cases seriously. Whether it was drafting legal documents or representing me in the court, I felt confident with Nick and his team behind my back. Being a parent himself, Nick was able to understand my situation and to put my child’s best interests as the top priority. The rest of his team is very professional as well and easy to reach to whenever I had questions. Overall, I am very satisfied with the work that Nick and his team has done.

    “When you want the BEST, call The Halks Firm!”
    I was referred to Nick from another probate attorney who I couldn't afford. With my son being in a state of crisis, my family under duress, and having recently received a not so favorable outcome with a prior attorney; Nick made time to meet with me within days. During that initial meeting he was empathetic, showed compassion to my situation and was not overpriced; I was also provided with his intended direct course of action that was going to ensure change and results that were in the best interest of my son. Nick and his team kept me informed throughout the entire process and made sure there was an open line of communication. Even now, months later I received outreaches from the team to check in on us! Knowing that there is no garentee on the outcomes court wise, I knew my family was in good hands. Without having to go all the way to trial; I received everything we were requesting and more! If I ever have to go to court again, The Halks Firm will be my first and only call.
