Modification of Court Orders
Are your changed circumstances making it difficult for you to meet your court-ordered obligations? We know that you want to meet your financial obligations in relation to your children, but you simply cannot afford to make such high payments based on your current salary and living conditions. Charles D. Riley, a family law attorney located in Grand Blanc, Michigan can assist you in filing a request to modify your court ordered child support payments.
Spousal Support
In years gone by, spousal support, commonly known as alimony, was almost always awarded to the female party in the divorce proceeding. However, those days are gone and so are automatic awards of spousal support. Additionally, with women’s earnings sometimes exceeding those of the male partners, women are sometimes required to pay support to their ex-husbands. This is commonly referred to as palimony.
If you are facing spousal support obligations that you cannot pay, or if you believe you are entitled to more than you have been awarded, contact the law firm of Charles D. Riley for a confidential consultation.
If any of these issues trouble you, or if you have questions about any other issues related to family law or divorce, the law firm of Charles D. Riley, proudly serving clients in Genesee County, MI, and surrounding counties, can assist you. Call today for an appointment to discuss your case.
