Your divorce is finalized. Maintenance has been resolved, assets have been divided, and child custody and support arrangements are in place. Yet life is unpredictable, and circumstances can change.
Career shifts, job loss, or other financial challenges may arise. A child’s needs or preferences might call for a revised custody schedule. Your former spouse may seek to relocate with the children or other unforeseen issues could disrupt the stability you worked hard to achieve.
At Garr Silpe, P.C., we recognize that legal challenges often persist beyond the initial court ruling. Our Post-Judgment Modifications, Disputes, and Appeals practice is designed to help clients address and resolve complex legal issues that arise after a judgment has been issued.
Post-Judgment Modifications
Changes in life circumstances can make existing court orders impractical or unfair. Whether it’s revisiting child custody arrangements, adjusting child support, or modifying spousal maintenance, New York law provides avenues to request modifications when a substantial change in circumstances occurs. Our firm is experienced in presenting compelling arguments and evidence to help you achieve necessary adjustments that reflect your current situation.
Enforcement of Court Orders
When one party does not comply with court-ordered responsibilities—such as by failing to pay child support or violating custody agreements—it can lead to frustration and hardship. Our attorneys are equipped to initiate enforcement actions to ensure that court orders are followed. We work diligently to protect your rights and secure the outcomes you were granted by the court.
Appeals
If you believe a court’s decision in your family law case was unjust or based on an error, you may have the option to file an appeal. In New York, the appellate process requires careful attention to detail and strict adherence to filing deadlines, such as submitting a notice of appeal within 30 days of receiving the final judgment. Our skilled attorneys evaluate the strengths of your case, guide you through the appeals process, and advocate for outcomes that align with your rights and best interests.
At Garr Silpe, P.C., we combine deep knowledge of New York family law with a compassionate approach tailored to each client’s unique needs. Whether pursuing an appeal, seeking a modification, or enforcing an order, we are here to provide the guidance and advocacy you deserve.
