Why Hire a San Francisco Order Modification Lawyer
The Schoenberg Family Law Group, P.C., can help you navigate the modification process, even if we did not represent you in your marital dissolution proceeding. We carefully review the current orders and judgments, analyze the situation, and explain the options available to our clients under California law. We then take appropriate legal action and provide our San Francisco Bay Area clients aggressive, yet compassionate counsel throughout the modification process. Additionally, it may sometimes be necessary to modify a final judgment of dissolution. While an appeal is a legal challenge to the decision of the trial court, it is not the only option. In certain circumstances, and with consideration for statutory time limitations, a person may request that the trial court modify the judgment of dissolution after it has been entered. This request is usually advanced in the form of a motion to modify the final judgment, or a motion to set aside the final judgment.There are various grounds that justify modification of or setting aside a final judgment. These grounds may include:
- Newly discovered evidence
- A change in circumstances
- Non-disclosure of assets or asset concealment
Prompt action is necessary and you need experienced counsel who will advocate on your behalf to ensure that your rights are protected and that the law governing challenges to final judgments is upheld. Additionally, our experience in handling complex financial situations provides our clients with the skill and diligence necessary to uncover hidden assets and ensure that the final judgment in your matter truly represents a fair and equitable disposition of the community estate. The Schoenberg Family Law Group, P.C., provides zealous representation in the San Francisco Bay Area.
