Requesting a Post-Divorce Modification in NY

In the event of a substantial change in circumstances after divorce, either party has the right to file a petition for a modification of a divorce order. A substantial change in circumstances is an unanticipated and involuntary change in the financial, emotional, or physical condition of one or both parents, which warrants a modification of particular elements of a divorce order.

Changes in circumstances that could warrant a post-divorce modification include:

• A relocation of the parents or children
• Loss of job for the parent paying child support
• Significant increase in income for the parent receiving child support or spousal maintenance
• Remarriage of the parent receiving spousal support
• Abuse or neglect of a child by one of the parents

Common divorce agreement issues that can be modified include:

• Child custody
• Child support
• Spousal maintenance
• Visitation schedules
