When Can a Spouse Pursue a Modification of Judgment?
Either spouse is eligible to file for a modification of judgment whenever there is a change in their financial circumstances, which can apply to child support, child custody, or spousal support. The person requesting the modification must be able to prove their case, which means that working with a modification of judgment attorney can offer a path to the most successful outcome.
The North Carolina court examines the following to determine a change in circumstances:
- Unemployment
- Illness or disability
- Increased living expenses
- Changes to income
- Relocation
- Moving in with a partner
- Lifestyle changes
Modifications can include an increase or decrease in the award, whether financially or regarding the amount of time spent with the child. No matter what the situation, the court first determines what is in the best interests of the child before making a modification. Since the original court order is legally binding, it is essential to work with a lawyer who understands how to prove your case before a judge.

Mr Avery and his team are great, I needed some help with a criminal matter and was looking around to find an attorney that would be absolutely truthful regarding my case and someone that wouldn’t just want to take my money. I’ve had bad experiences in the past, but Mr. Avery was on top of it and very insightful, he kept me informed on the process every step of the way. He was very knowledgeable. I felt like I was in great hands and never had to stress. Thank you Trevor and the team!- Lily G.

Very upfront honest lawyer. Tough to find that integrity now a days in a attorney. He couldn't do everything and said so upfront gave a price and even offered a deposit of much less. Referred another attorney that could do everything. For that, I give five stars. Some might think it's much but time is money and appreciate yours and your honesty. (He doesn't get paid for consultation many charge for that) Thank you. Staff was super nice. She called me immediately when I left a email. He got back exactly when he said he would and discussed options.- Christina B.
