Arizona Child Support and Custody - Making Modifications
HOW TO USE MEDIATION TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO...
- Child Custody/Visitation
- Parenting Decisions
- Child Support Levels
- Spousal Maintenance/Alimony
There's an old saying that if you want to start a fight, try to change something. People who have been through a divorce want to get on with their lives, but often find that decisions made during the divorce (or imposed on them by the court) are holding them back....
- The assumptions made to determine financial support levels may have turned out to be wrong, or the numbers have changed dramatically
- A former spouse is refusing to fulfill his or her end of the bargain on child custody or visitation
- One of the spouses is contemplating relocating to another part of town, or out -of-state
- Promises aren't being kept, or communications have broken down and one of the parties is working to undermine the other's parenting
The old resentments can start to boil and before long you're back to meeting with lawyers and going to court – OR, you can take the issue to mediation. Let Agreement House™ help improve communications and get fast and affordable resolutions so you can get back to your life and you and your children can get to a more agreeable future.
Where needed, we can reopen communication – we can make contact with your former spouse and explain the benefits of mediation, seeking agreement on a low-conflict resolution instead of court.
Then, one of our mediators can help both sides see the other's point of view and work toward a creative resolution, usually in just a few hours, meeting in a comfortable, casual environment, working with people who want to help you learn the art of getting agreement.
