  • Modifications of divorce decrees and existing orders: After a court issues an order in a family law case, it is not uncommon for a family’s circumstances to change. For example, after a divorce, it is not uncommon for an ex-spouse to move into a new relationship. It is also common for a parent to get a new job that might take them out of state. When significant changes happen, seeking a modification of an existing court order might be appropriate.

With each case, no matter what the scenario might be, attorney Fox will conduct a thorough assessment of the legal issues. He will make sure that his clients know and understand their rights, the process and the likely outcomes. He keeps his clients informed throughout the proceedings and genuinely cares about their well-being and best interests.
