Family Law Attorney in Whittier, California

Post-Judgment Modifications and Move-Aways

Often, even after a divorce or child custody or support order has been finalized, the situation or circumstances of one of the parties may change, requiring a modification of existing child custody and visitation, child support, or alimony agreements. One parent may lose a job, may suffer injury or illness that affects income or availability for custody or visitation, or may need to relocate outside of the area. When you need to address issues involving a modification or a move-away, you want an experienced lawyer to protect your interests.

At the Law Offices of Rose Marie Gallegos, APLC, we work with individuals in situations where circumstances have changed significantly after the finalization of a divorce or child custody or support order. We help men and women seek modification of existing decrees, often necessitated by the relocation of one of the parties to the divorce.

Attorney Gallegos is a family law specialist, certified by the California State Bar. We work hard to minimize the time and expense associated with modifications and move-aways. Contact our office to schedule a confidential consultation.

Modification Based on Change of Circumstances

We handle all types of requests for modification of existing judgments and orders, including:

• Custody orders: We represent individuals who seek modification of a child custody order due to illness or injury, changes in employment or employment status, and relocations or move-aways, including military relocations and relocations to remarry.


• Visitation or parenting time decrees: A request to modify visitation may stem from a change in employment, changing needs of the minor child, illness or injury to the custodial or non-custodial parent, or relocation of either parent.


• Child support orders: The loss of a job or a significant change in employment or earning capacity may necessitate a change in child support payments, as may the birth of another child to the non-custodial parent.


• Alimony or spousal support modifications: A grant of alimony may be changed or terminated based on a change in marital status, employment status, an illness or injury, or the birth of another child to the either parent.

For skilled and experienced representation when you need to modify an existing divorce judgment or respond to a request for relocation by your spouse, contact us via e-mail or call us at 562-321-9296. Our telephones are answered 24 hours a day. We meet with clients during traditional business hours and evening and Saturday appointments are available upon request. We accept Visa and MasterCard.
