POST-DECREE LITIGATION
Resolving Legal Disputes After Divorce
Even after a divorce or dissolution is finalized, legal issues can arise that require court intervention. Whether you need to modify an existing order or enforce a prior agreement, post-decree litigation allows you to protect your rights and adapt to changing circumstances. At Fogelman Law Firm, we assist clients in Clermont, Hamilton, Butler, Warren, and Brown Counties in resolving post-divorce disputes efficiently and effectively.
What Is Post-Decree Litigation?
When significant life changes occur, post-decree litigation ensures that court orders remain fair, enforceable, and reflective of your current needs.
Post-decree litigation refers to legal disputes that arise after a divorce or dissolution has been finalized. These cases often involve:
Modifications to custody, parenting time, child support, or spousal support
Motions for contempt to enforce court orders
Motions to compel compliance with property division or financial disclosures
Relocation disputes when a parent wants to move with a child
Common Post-Decree Motions & Modifications
If your circumstances have changed, you may need to file a modification or enforcement action to adjust your legal agreements:
Child Custody & Parenting Time Modifications
If a parent relocates or a child’s needs change, custody and parenting time orders may require modification to better serve the child’s best interests.
Child Support Modifications
If a parent’s income significantly increases or decreases, child support payments may need to be adjusted to reflect financial changes.
Spousal Support (Alimony) Modifications
If one party remarries, experiences job loss, or has a substantial income change, a modification may be necessary to ensure fairness.
Contempt & Enforcement Motions
if an ex-spouse refuses to follow a court order, legal action can be taken to enforce compliance, including wage garnishments and other penalties.
Our Legal Process for Post-Decree Litigation
We follow a structured, results-driven approach to post-divorce disputes:
Case Evaluation – We review your current court order and assess whether a modification or enforcement action is appropriate.
Filing the Motion – We draft and submit the necessary legal documents to request a hearing.
Negotiation & Mediation – If possible, we work to resolve disputes outside of court.
Litigation & Court Representation – If no agreement is reached, we advocate for you in court to secure a favorable outcome.
