- Child SupportLife moves on after divorce. With an ever changing economy, an existing child custody, child support, as well as an alimony arrangement may no longer adequately reflect the current situation. We help clients understand the requirements of modifying a current order, as well as providing knowledgeable advocacy in modification or contempt and enforcement hearings.
