Post-Decree Modifications

A Twin Cities Family Law Attorney for Guidance After Divorce

Financial ups and downs, remarriage, chronic illnesses and a range of other important changes in circumstances often follow divorce. This is true under all types of economic conditions, but the recent, widespread downturns in the economy have forced many people across the cultural spectrum to make major life adjustments. Under Minnesota law, many orders in your divorce decree may be subject to modification if a substantial change in circumstances has occurred. The Dittrich Law Firm is here to help guide you through the process of seeking a modification.
