CAN PROVISIONS REGARDING SPOUSAL SUPPORT, CHILD SUPPORT OR CHILD CUSTODY BE REVIEWED AFTER THE JUDGMENT?
Yes. Typically, the issues of child custody and child support can be reviewed by the Court if there is a sufficient change in circumstances to warrant a different result than that contained in the judgment. There are specific factors to be considered but the court on a regular basis will entertain petitions for changes in custody and/or support. Spousal support, by statute, unless otherwise agreed in the judgment is modifiable upon a showing of change in circumstances as well. Such a change in spousal support can be to increase, decrease, terminate or extend the amount and time of support/alimony.
