Working to Create Successful Modification Outcomes
Life changes, and so can the court orders around child support, child custody or visitation and alimony (spousal support). Modifications can be made when circumstances substantially change. At the Logan, West Virginia, law firm of Abraham & Ilderton, PLLC, we are passionate about resolving our clients' modification concerns, even when the circumstances are difficult and emotions are running high.
Looking at Options, Finding Solutions
The standard for modifying custody or support in West Virginia is a substantial change of circumstances. These can include both financial and non-financial changes, such as:
- Job loss
- Job relocation
- Reduction in hours/earnings
- Change in work schedule
- Financial emergencies
- Unsuitable environment in which to raise children
- Substance abuse
Whether it is a case of modification for child support, child custody/visitation or alimony, do not try to go it alone. Call attorneys Brian Abraham and Robert Ilderton at 304-239-5327 or 888-664-4717, toll free to discuss your concerns. We know how to skillfully present your case before a judge.
Advocating for You and Your Child
The standard for ruling on any child support, custody or visitation order is always what is in the best interest of the child. Because West Virginia statute is gender-neutral regarding custody, it may be determined that giving the father custody is in the best interest of the child (if, for example, the mother has a drug or alcohol problem and can no longer maintain a suitable environment).
As practitioners of family law, we understand that we are often representing the rights of a child as much as we are the rights of a parent or guardian. We are not just your lawyers, we are advocates for protecting children and making sure their best interests, and yours, are protected.
