Post-Divorce Issues

Nashville Attorney Handles Problems After Divorce

When a significant change in life circumstances suggests you must seek modification of a court order associated with divorce, an experienced lawyer can help you navigate the legal requirements. If your ex-spouse is not complying with the court orders already in place, you can contact Stanley A. Kweller to discuss filing a contempt action for child support or alimony enforcement or enforcement of other orders from your divorce.

Just as the Tennessee divorce process involves a set of legal steps that cannot be bypassed, changes in circumstances after a divorce must be handled properly through the courts. There are statutes governing when and how often you can seek modifications. Consulting a family law attorney may help you quickly assess your legal options.

Child Support Modification and Compliance With Court Orders

Many of the same critical factors that are negotiated or litigated in a divorce case can be brought up for modification later on. Stan Kweller is knowledgeable about the Tennessee laws and all considerations likely to come up when you seek:

• Modification of alimony or spousal support
• Modification of child support
• Modification of child custody, parenting time or visitation arrangements

Child support modification is perhaps the most common type of change people pursue. When the parent paying support suffers a job loss or other major income decrease, the other parent may seek to have the obligation reduced. If either parent becomes aware of a change resulting in a substantial income increase for the other, he or she may file to have support adjusted accordingly. Changes in financial needs of the children may also be a valid reason for a child support modification.

Attorney Stan Kweller Understands Relocation Statutes

In today's mobile society, relocation by an ex-spouse is a frequent source of legal questions and disputes — especially, but not only, when children's interests are involved. Tennessee has established very specific laws governing postdivorce parental relocation. Whether you want to move or attempt to prevent an ex-spouse from moving, it can be essential to contact an experienced attorney with knowledge of how these laws may impact your goals.
