Phoenix Post-Decree Attorney

If your divorce is final, but your circumstances have changed, you want an experienced lawyer to help you modify the court order. You may have had a job change that makes it difficult to follow the visitation schedule. You may have a change in income, or the needs of your child may be different.

At The Law Office of John R. Gaertner, we have more than 20 years of experience handling divorce and family law matters for men and women in Arizona, including requests for modification of a final divorce decree. We understand the complex emotions that come with divorce and know that the best results come from solid attorney-client relationships. That’s why we strive to provide unparalleled customer service, taking the time to carefully explain the law and process, as well as your rights, options and chances of success. Your case will not be delegated to a staff member or an associate. When you hire us, you will always work directly with attorney Gaertner or his experienced paralegal.

We handle cases involving all types of modification requests, including:

• Motions for modification due to job-related changes, such as promotions, transfers, shift changes or terminations
• Motions for modification because of health concerns
• Motions for modification because of concerns for the safety or well-being of minor children, such as situations involving physical or emotional abuse, illegal activity or substance abuse
