After a divorce is finalized, you might find yourself responsible for paying child support or spousal support – maybe even both. These are both serious obligations, with serious consequences if you refuse to pay. However, the court does recognize some circumstances to modify these orders. An Illinois family law attorney can represent you in front of a judge, making a good faith case on your behalf.
At Calabrese Associates, P.C., we are sympathetic to the troubles people face after a divorce. When you work with our firm, you will receive qualified legal counsel and representation from an attorney with years of hands-on experience.
Loss of a Job
In order to petition for a modification of a support order, you will have to prove that you experienced a substantial change in circumstances. If you lost your job unexpectedly, you may have a strong case to get the payments paused or reduced.
