Whenever an individual has been involved in a family law matter that resulted in court orders involving support payments or parenting and custody, there often comes a time when modification of those orders is necessary.

Child Support And Custody Modification

People typically seek modification of two different types of family court orders: support and parenting/child custody.

  • Child support modification — In cases of child support, modification functions in a particular way. An obligor/payor or an obligee/payee may apply to the court for modification of their support obligation (child or spousal). One is eligible to apply if a period of three years has passed since the last order (on child support) or in some situations if there is a substantial change in circumstances (child and spousal support). Our team of New Hampshire child custody lawyers can counsel you concerning the benefit of pursuing this type of modification.
  • Parental rights and responsibilities — In cases of parental rights and responsibilities, also formerly known as custody and visitation, either parent may petition the court for modification. A court may consider modification under special circumstances, for example if one parent is interfering with the parental rights of the other. Characteristics of interference include:
    • Repetition
    • Intent
    • Unwarranted

An additional type of modification a court may consider is if a child's present environment is detrimental to their physical, mental or emotional health. At SekellaLaw, PLLC, our Manchester NH divorce lawyers can help you seek modification based on these reasons or others.
