Can Family Law Decisions Be Modified?
Family law decisions can be modified under certain circumstances, typically when there is a significant change in circumstances affecting the parties involved. Common reasons for seeking modifications include changes in income, employment status, relocation, or the needs of children as they grow. Courts generally require substantial evidence to support such modifications and aim to ensure that any changes serve the best interests of the affected individuals, particularly children. It is essential for parties seeking modifications to consult with an experienced Franklin family law firm to navigate the legal requirements and effectively present their case in court.
