Thomas and Elisabeth Benavidez

Family Law Modification Attorney In Tucson, Arizona

When life changes after a divorce, court orders involving parenting time, legal decision-making, child support or spousal maintenance may not always remain practical on a long-term basis. Therefore, it is important to work with a qualified family law modification attorney who can help you through the legal steps to request changes. 

At Benavidez Law Group, P.C., we have helped families across Tucson, Arizona, for over three decades. Our attorney, Lisa Benavidez, is a certified family law specialist through the State Bar of Arizona, offering a depth of insight that only years of focused legal work can bring. We take a straightforward and personal approach when it comes to modifying existing family law orders. We know that the court requires proof of a substantial and continuing change in circumstances before any adjustments are considered, so let us help.

Types Of Family Law Modifications In Arizona

There are several situations where court order modifications may be sought. Our experienced child custody modification lawyer can help review your situation and determine whether your circumstances qualify. The most common types of modifications include:

  • Parenting-time modification: A new parenting schedule may be needed if one parent is relocating or a child’s needs have changed.
  • Modify legal decision-making: A significant change in a parent’s ability to make decisions may justify this modification.
  • Child support modification: A shift in income, health needs or the addition of another child may warrant a new support amount.
  • Modify spousal support (also known as alimony or spousal maintenance): When either party’s financial situation changes dramatically, spousal payments may be adjusted.

Each of these requests must show that there has been a substantial and continuing change in circumstances that affects the original court order. The court always considers the best interests of the child when parenting decisions are involved.
