Post-Divorce Issues in Jacksonville

Jacksonville Modification Attorney

At Jason K.S. Porter, P.A., we understand that a divorce agreement that once worked may no longer fit your lifestyle. You may feel a need to change child support amounts as well as alimony, custody and other issues as your life changes and develops, which is why you could benefit from a Jacksonville modification lawyer at our firm. Petitioning for a modification of orders is a legal way to change your divorce agreement, but this petition will likely be denied if you do not have the proper evidence to meet the modification criteria.

Guidance from a Dedicated Law Firm in Jacksonville

The Jacksonville modification attorneys at our firm can guide you through the process so that you can present a valid, well-prepared petition for modification to be considered by a family law judge. If you are looking for a divorce modification, you may be doing so because you have had a major change in life circumstances. For example, you may be charged with paying a large sum to both your ex-wife for spousal support (alimony) as well as a sum to your children for child support.

If you recently had a change in occupation, you may qualify for a modification of these orders. If you have been unemployed for an extended period of time or have taken a pay-cut, then you may be seriously struggling financially. It is important to note that bankruptcy cannot remediate your child support, alimony or related family court-decreed debts. Filing for a modification of orders may be your best option.

    "Aggressive and Compassionate. Highly Recommend."
    I'd been accused of something I did not do. My situation was a total nightmare. I consulted with Attorney Porter and he assured me that my tough situation could be handled. Attorney Gary Shumar tirelessly worked my case, while showing patience and empathy when I felt frustrated. Needless to say, my charges were dropped. I highly recommend this firm.

    "They were very kind and extremely knowledgeable AND patient."
    Just wanted to say thank you to Attorney Carlucci and paralegal Ms. Rasulova. They were very kind and extremely knowledgeable AND patient. Hopefully I will not need an Attorney in the future, BUT if I do it will be Pick Porter.

    "Excellent attorneys and staff"
    My family has worked with Mr. Porter several times over the years. Each of our experiences were different but the outcome was the same. We all had extremely positive results. I have referred many friends and family to Mr. Porter for assistance, and I will continue to highly recommend the firm to anyone in need of legal services.

    "Mr. Porter and his staff are fantastic."
    Mr. Porter and his staff are fantastic. They clearly explained the charges, potential outcomes and estimated timelines. They worked closely with me to tailor their services to my unique situation. The entire team demonstrated extensive knowledge of the law, flexibility, and responsiveness. These qualities helped put my mind at ease until they were able to get all charges against me dropped. I would highly recommend this law firm.

    "He is a seasoned professional that is respected within the law community."

    I first met Jason Porter in 2003, when our children attended a Christian Preschool together. I saw what he did within our community. He helped many of the families from the preschool over the years so when it came time that my family needed a lawyer I chose him. Jason has helped my family and several of my personal friends, all with positive outcomes. He is a seasoned professional that is respected within the law community. You will be treated with the utmost respect and compassion. I don't know another lawyer of his caliber that offers free consultations and you speak to him personally. Pick Porter.

    "I will never be able to thank Jason Porter enough."
    Jason Porter has helped me on two separate occasions and both times his attention to detail really impressed me. His staff is wonderful and easy to work with. The second time I worked with Jason Porter, he turned what I thought was a hopeless situation into a miracle. He literally got me my life back by getting the charges reduced. His experience as a trial lawyer came in handy when he had to work with the district attorney to change the judge's mind on my case. Jason Porter has a calming demeanor and he instilled confidence when going over the details of my case. I tended to be pessimistic, but Jason Porter would always reassure me and keep me positive. I will never be able to thank Jason Porter enough for all that he has done for me and my family. I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do I know I can count on Jason Porter to give me my best chance at a favorable outcome.

    "My life is in a much better place today because of Jason's integrity within the community and relationships with the judges & state attorneys."
    I have had several cases with Mr. Porter as my attorney. He went to bat for me and fought hard to get a great outcome every time! He is a top-notch attorney in Jacksonville and very professional & honest when dealing with each scenario of my cases. My life is in a much better place today because of Jason's integrity within the community and relationships with the judges & state attorneys.

    "You really took years of stress off my shoulder and I can finally have clarity in my mind."
    Over the past month or so I had made a call to the Law offices of Jason Porter because I needed to resolve an issue that occurred over 7 years ago. Once I explained the situation the secretary sent me directly to Jonathan Thacher. All I can say is that Thacher did an amazing job handling my case and I am extremely happy right now. I no longer have to worry about that problem ever again thanks to Thacher. The work was effective and everything went through perfectly. Thank you so much man you really took years of stress off my shoulder and I can finally have clarity in my mind.
