Virginia Beach Modification Attorney
Modify Child Custody, Visitation, or Support Orders in Virginia Beach
Once a couple finalizes a divorce, they receive a divorce decree specifying the terms of alimony, child support, and visitation agreements. Once this decree is set, it can only be changed under certain circumstances. A Virginia Beach modification lawyer at The Law Offices of Daniel J. Miller can help you determine whether your situation warrants a divorce modification.
Contact us today at (757) 267-4949 for a case evaluation.
Requirements for a Post-Divorce Modification
Unless the party seeking a modification can prove that a "significant change in circumstances" has occurred since the finalization of the order, a judge may not grant the modification.
Modifications to Child or Spousal Support
An adjustment of child support payments can only occur 3 years after the initial decree or previous modification. The process begins when your attorney files a Request for Review and Adjustment with Virginia’ s Social Services Department. The request must provide the circumstances that qualify for modification, as well as evidence to support the claim.
A spousal support modification can increase, decrease, or eliminate a payment, but the person seeking the modification must prove a substantial change in circumstance to warrant this change. Whether or not a court will grant this modification may also depend on the wording used in the original decree.

Call Dan Miller now - you need look no further for the best divorce attorney in Hampton Roads. Divorce is not an easy situation but it is even worse if you do not have good representation.
I was in the midst of a divorce and my case was with a firm that was not representing me fairly and not answering my questions. I was at a loss and dreaded going to court. Then a friend told me of Dan Miller. I wish I had found this firm in the beginning! From the first hour of turning my case over to this office I stopped worrying. I knew I had made the right choice and my case was in good hands. Dan Miller was professional, and he fought for me and I was very happy with the way he handled my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I hired Mr. Miller initially for a bond hearing . I decided to retain his services for the case itself . I was facing two felony charges as well as a failure to appear charge . While there were witnesses that were able to identify me, I walked out of Virginia Beach Courthouse with only a misdemeanor thanks to Mr. Miller's representation . I work in the healthcare profession and expressed to Mr. Miller the importance of avoiding a felony charge and he made it happen. I am forever grateful and will highly recommend him . Mr. Miller will always represent myself as well as family members if need be in the future . Again thank you Mr. Miller for using your knowledge to keep me from being a convicted felon and also saving my career.- C. Dickens
