Mediation For Family Law Modifications

As time passes, life changes after divorce make it necessary to update your legal paperwork. What worked for a toddler often fails for a teenager.

In Wisconsin, you can request the court to change your custody or support arrangements if there has been a substantial change in circumstances.

We assist you through post divorce mediation in Green Bay or Manitowoc to ensure your court orders match your current reality.

Many families find that they need to modify divorce agreements for several reasons:

• Custody modification mediation: Changing who the children live with as their school or social or health needs change.
• Parenting plan changes: Updating holiday rotations or weekly schedules to fit new work hours.
• Relocation changes: Figuring out a new plan if one parent needs to move to a different city, state or country.
• Child support modification mediation: Adjusting payments because of a new job, a raise or a job loss.
• Support order changes: Fixing alimony or other financial agreements when life situations shift.
• Co-parenting adjustment: Improving how you communicate and make decisions together.

By using mediation, you avoid the high cost and stress of relitigation. You and your ex partner get to decide the outcome instead of leaving it to a judge who does not know your daily routine.

Frequently Asked Questions About Post-Divorce Modification Mediation

If your current court order feels outdated, you likely have questions about how to fix it legally. We provide the support you need to understand your rights and the steps required to change your agreement in Wisconsin.

Can I modify a custody agreement through mediation in Wisconsin?

Yes, you can. Since your family’s needs change as your children get older, the law allows for these updates. After 24 months and as long as the change is in the best interest of the child, mediation is the fastest way to make it official.

Do I have to go back to court to change a divorce agreement?

You do not have to go through a full trial, in Wisconsin, parties must file a Stipulation and Order (Form FA-604) to change a divorce agreement. Once both sides sign the document, the court reviews it and decides if it updates your official file.

How does post-divorce mediation work?

Wisconsin law (per Wis. Stat. § 767.405) often requires a parent to first file a motion or petition with the court before being referred to mediation for post-judgment disputes.

You and your former spouse work with a mediator to discuss the specific changes you need. The mediator helps keep the conversation on track so you can reach a result for both sides.
