Our extensive experience and capable, efficient legal team are excellent resources for people seeking post-divorce modifications.

In order to petition for a post-divorce modification in North Carolina, you must be able to document a substantial change of circumstances. Such a change might be:

  • Issues associated with parental relocation
  • Remarriage
  • Disability
  • Major changes in medical or other needs of children of the marriage
  • A child "aging out" for required payment of child support

Attorney Jill E. Burton is a Board Certified Specialist in Family Law — one of only a few in Durham. She has a firm grasp of all relevant statutes and can adeptly assess whether you meet the requirements for a post-divorce modification. We take cases we know are likely to succeed, and advise people that do not meet requirements what they will need to do in order to obtain the desired change in the future.
