Changes in circumstances may occur that require some aspect of your agreement to become outdated or in need of modification. When there is a material change in circumstance, either party may return to court and file a Complaint for Modification. Parties that have already participated in mediation know that they have the option of making changes on their own and/or returning to mediation to create a new agreement that can then be jointly filed with the court for approval. Even if you have not used mediation before, you may use Parker Mediation services for modifications to your divorce agreement.
Matters pertaining to children are always modifiable by the court. The most common post divorce issue involving children is the amount of support to be paid from one spouse to the other. Massachusetts has enacted child support guidelines that are presumed to be the correct amount of child support due. It is not uncommon for the calculation of Child support according to the guidelines to become a post divorce issue. People frequently change jobs and therefore may earn more or less income, causing a change in the amount of support available for the children.
