In the years after a divorce, life circumstances often change in dramatic ways for both ex-spouses and children. For example, people lose jobs or advance in their careers, which can alter the amount of child support and/or spousal maintenance that is feasible and appropriate. Many remarry. Custody arrangements that worked when children were very young may be unsustainable when they are older and have different needs.

Whether life has taken a sudden turn or your family’s needs have evolved gradually, Maia Brodie can help navigate these unforeseen circumstances.  A keen listener, Maia will assess your specific concerns while placing your child’s safety and well-being at the forefront of any modification plans. Maia paves the path forward with guidance and support so parents and ex-spouses can develop thoughtful modifications that serve the interests of all parties involved.

A Missouri divorce decree must reflect the state of affairs existing when it is issued. When substantial, continuing changes in circumstances justify changes in orders,  it is necessary to file a well-prepared motion to modify in the appropriate court.  At Brodie Law, we provide compassionate, caring guidance for people seeking post-divorce modifications or defending against them. You can turn to us for:

• Thorough evaluation of your specific situation and all factors the court may weigh when considering modification of child support, spousal maintenance, or child custody.
• Clear, honest counsel on both your likelihood of success with a modification action and any risks or repercussions that could make such a filing unwise.

Your story is unique. Your case matters to us.

We are prepared to handle post-divorce concerns, including complex disputes arising from a proposed parental and child relocation.
