What are Post Judgment Proceedings in NYC?
When a couple gets a divorce or a family court custody or support order, there are many factors they have to address to finalize the proceedings. Among other things, couples must divide and distribute property, determine child custody, child support, and decide if spousal support is necessary. As with all of life, nothing is set in stone. Occasionally, the need to change some of these arrangements may occur. Post judgment proceedings happen when there is a significant change in life and the original parameters of the divorce must be legally changed.
To do this, the spouses must go in front of a judge and have their cases heard. New York City post judgment proceedings can be lengthy and often require extensive documentation or proof of the changing circumstances. Changes may be needed for a number of reasons, especially in the following instances:
- Child support. If one spouse is refusing to pay child support, a ruling to enforce the payments may be obtained. If a person has a significant change in life, like a remarriage, loss of job, relocation, or other career change, the child support payments may be modified to accommodate the new situation.
- Child custody. If the custodial parent is relocating, he or she may need to change some custody arrangements. Other issues could be a parent falling ill or a charge of abuse or neglect.
- Spousal maintenance. If the spouses had decided on a spousal support amount and time frame, and major change has occurred, like a spouse no longer needs support, is getting remarried, relocating, etc.
Though these are not the only changes that can be made with post judgment proceedings, they are the most common. Many times, these changes are warranted because things in the spouses’ lives shift for the better. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of cases where one spouse refuses to comply with the original divorce rulings. In that case, the modification is for enforcement. Whatever the case, it is in the spouses’ best interest to seek a competent attorney to handle the modifications. The courts will need to see proof of changing circumstances. An effective New York divorce attorney can present your case effectively.
