Change Happens — Let Us Help You Adjust
It is important to understand that divorcing parties are not simply done with each other following a court order. Oftentimes, needs will change in some way that requires the parties to go back to court and make adjustments.
Reasons for a modification could include:
- Parties no longer being able to follow an existing parenting plan
- A child's needs changing
- A family needing to move due to a job change
- Significant change in income or finances
The main goal of a modification is to update a divorce decree, final orders, or current agreement to accurately reflect the situation facing the parties now. A divorce finalized seven years ago, for example, will encounter many changes such as children's sports and activities, employment, medical costs, etc. Through modification, parents can address these changes and update their orders to fit their current schedules and situation.
A significant portion of a court's case log or docket involves modifications of existing orders.
Types of Modifications
Working with Drexler Law allows you to understand the changes that need to be made to better accommodate both parties. Let our team help you make a case for the changes that must be made to your parenting plan, child support orders, or alimony orders.
Modifications to an order could include:
- Spousal maintenance (alimony)
- Child support
- Custody orders
- Parenting plans or visitation
Can You Modify a Child Support Order in Colorado?
In Colorado, the ability to modify a child support order is contingent on demonstrating a substantial change in circumstances that warrants an adjustment. Either parent has the right to request a modification from the court when there is a notable change impacting the financial situation of either party or if there is a considerable alteration in the child's requirements.
Common reasons for seeking a modification include a substantial change in income, a change in the child's healthcare or educational needs, or alterations in the parenting time arrangement. However, it's crucial to note that temporary fluctuations may not necessarily meet the threshold for modification.
To commence the modification process, the parent desiring the change must submit a motion to the court, outlining the reasons for the requested modification and presenting supporting documentation. Subsequently, the court will assess the case and decide whether the proposed modification is in alignment with the child's best interests.
Seeking legal counsel is advisable when considering a child support modification in Colorado. An experienced Colorado Springs modifications attorney can provide guidance, assess the circumstances, and help navigate the legal process to ensure the best possible outcome for all parties involved.

"Outstanding Representation!"
Matthew Drexler represented me during a difficult period of time in my life. He did an outstanding job understanding all of my issues, was very responsive, and gave me the best advice possible. Additionally, his staff was very helpful and the whole team worked together to make this a rather fairly pleasant experience for me. I couldn't have asked for better representation. I am very happy with the end result and I would highly recommend him to anyone who has made the decision to file for a divorce.- Jason R.Colorado Springs, CO -

"I made the right decision in choosing Drexler Law Firm."
I had a fantastic experience with Drexler Law firm. A few years ago I had gone through a very rough period in my life, and voluntarily turned over my children to their mother for primary care while I hunted for jobs. However, I did not use an attorney, and wound up giving her complete custody, something I had not expected, and was told I would not get them back. After getting my job back, I researched law firms and saw that Drexler specialized in family law, child support, and custody issues. They were up-front with me on costs and chances of winning my children back. We won. I'm back with my children with fully joint custody, and we even avoided going to court. Having a knowledgeable law firm represent you is the only way to go when everything matters. During the legal back-and-forth process, it was easy to tell that the level of effort, experience, and skill on the part of Drexler was far above the opposing counsel. I made the right decision in choosing Drexler Law Firm.- Mike -
