Modification Questions
What is a post-divorce modification?
It is a legal change to terms set in a divorce order or agreement, such as support or parenting arrangements. Whether a change is possible depends on the terms, the circumstances, and applicable Ontario law.
Can child support change after divorce?
It may be possible when relevant circumstances have changed, such as income or parenting arrangements. The right process depends on how support was established and whether both parties agree to the proposed update.
Can we change parenting arrangements by agreement?
Parents may be able to agree on revised arrangements, but changes should reflect the child's needs and be recorded appropriately. If you cannot agree, legal advice can clarify possible ways to resolve the dispute.
What information should I bring to a consultation?
Bring your divorce order or agreement, recent financial information, and a concise timeline of what has changed. Details about current support or parenting arrangements can also help a lawyer assess the situation.
How long does a modification take?
Timing varies with the type of change, the completeness of the information, and whether the parties agree. Court involvement can add steps. A lawyer can explain likely stages after reviewing your circumstances.
