Child support and spousal support obligations can be modified through the courts. When child support modification is sought, the courts will consider it in light of what is in the best interests of the child. Spousal support can also be modified through the courts if you can show the occurrence of a substantial change in your circumstances which justifies such a modification. In either case, you will need a competent Staten Island divorce lawyer to manage your case.
