Hardy Law Group Post Judgement

Post-Judgment Lawyer in Hartford, CT

Resolving Custody & Support Issues in Connecticut Family Law

Post-judgment refers to any legal proceedings and issues that arise after the court has issued a divorce decree or final judgment. Although the divorce may have been finalized, various circumstances can lead to the need for further legal intervention to modify or enforce the initial court orders. In Connecticut, post-judgment matters are integral to family law practice and can include various issues.

For instance, your circumstances may have changed since your divorce decree was issued, rendering the current court orders unworkable. In that case, you may need the court’s intervention to modify the court order to reflect those changes. This can apply to child custody, child support, and alimony. In other cases, you may need the court’s help to enforce a current order violated or ignored by your ex-spouse.

At Hardy Law Group, we can represent you in post-divorce situations where such legal matters must be addressed. Our family law attorney is well-versed in Connecticut law regarding these issues. He can file the necessary paperwork, build and prepare your case, and advocate for you in court against the opposing party.

Post-Judgment Legal Issues in Connecticut Family Law

In divorce, post-judgment signifies any actions taken to address changes or compliance with the terms of the original divorce decree. Once the divorce is finalized, life continues to evolve. Certain aspects outlined in the judgment may need modification, or parties may fail to adhere to the agreed terms. Post-judgment legal issues typically involve the following.

Modifications

Children’s educational, health, and extracurricular activity needs may change as they grow, necessitating custody and visitation modifications. Additionally, parents may face changes to their work schedules or financial circumstances. They may need to relocate for work or other reasons. They may have new family dynamics, such as in remarriage, which can require a reassessment of living arrangements to ensure the child’s best interests are served.

Adjustments in child support payments may be required due to changes in circumstances for both children and parents. The supporting parent may face significant income changes, such as from a job loss, small business failure, or severe health condition. The supporting parent may remarry, have more children, and become responsible for their support. Children being supported in child support payments may require additional financial support for education, sports, other activities, or healthcare.

Changes in either party’s financial circumstances may require alimony modifications or termination. These can include job losses, significant raises, or the remarriage or cohabitation of the supported ex-spouse.

Enforcement

If one party fails to comply with the court orders stipulated in the divorce decree, legal action may be needed to enforce those terms. This can include unpaid child or spousal support, failure to adhere to custody arrangements, or refusal to transfer property or assets.

Contempt Proceedings

When a party deliberately disobeys court orders, contempt proceedings may be initiated to compel compliance and, if necessary, impose penalties.

Division of Retirement Assets & Unresolved Debt Issues

In some cases, retirement assets may have been improperly managed or divided in the initial settlement terms. In these instances, the issue may arise as a post-judgment requiring further court consideration. Where marital debts are not fully addressed in the initial judgment, it may lead to additional disputes that demand judicial oversight.

Mr. Hardy heard me out and handled the situation (including showing up to court twice for a no-show ex) and is still taking all measures to make sure all child support and custody issues are seen through to the end. My son's mother wanted to bring me back to court but I live 1500 miles away now. I was confident having him appear and represent me.
