Types of Modifications in Family Law
Due to the often complex nature of family law, the court takes modification requests very seriously. Whether or not you and your former spouse are in agreement also makes a difference in how the process will go.
Some of the most requested modifications include:
- Child support
- Child custody
- Child visitation
- Spousal maintenance
When any one of these modifications is presented before the court, proper evidence and documentation is required in order to prove to the court that your request is valid.
Helping You Pursue a Modification in St. Louis
After determining your desire for a modification, you can choose to talk to your ex-spouse privately before taking the matter to court. Should this be the case, it is important to obtain the support of an attorney to ensure your desires are clearly expressed.
However, if court involvement is necessary, you will need to follow a few key guidelines, including:
- Filing a motion in the court where the initial judgment was acquired
- Supplying your reasons for a desired modification
- Providing your ex-spouse with a notice
- Attending a court hearing
The court will make their decision based on the validity of your petition. In order to secure your anticipated outcome, you need someone on your side who can fight for you with compassion and dedication. A St. Louis divorce lawyer from our firm is passionate about fighting for the outcome our clients deserve.

“I have been in and out of the courts for 2 years and Mr. Hogan has always kept me updated on my case. I understand I am not his only client, but he made me feel like I was his priority. I have never had an attorney that would reach out to me on a weekend, till I met Mr. Hogan. He was always professional, caring and kind to me. I wish there were more attorney's like Mr. Hogan, whom is willing to go an extra mile for you without his hand out everytime you spoke a word. Thank you for your representation Mr. Hogan.”- Linda

“Bill is truly a family man and demonstrates community spirit in his law practice. His outreach to help people is truly evident. He helped me with a traffic ticket and continued diligently to get it expunged from my record, as I am a good driver and the speed limit in the area was extremely unusual for a major thoroughfare. It was a small task, but Bill treated me as though I was his first client. Thank you, Bill, for your great service!”- Kathy K.
