Helping You Obtain Modifications to the Terms of Your Divorce

What's the single most common mistake most people make when they want to obtain or challenge a divorce modification? The answer is, waiting too long to talk to an attorney.

At the Rooney Law Firm, we help people deal with the new changes and challenges life can bring by helping them to obtain child custody, visitation and support modifications. If you live in the Chico area or Northern California, our attorneys can help you as well. To schedule a free consultation, call us directly at (800)TKO-4LAW (toll free) or contact our offices online and we will get in touch with you shortly.

These numbers tell some of our story. We tell yours.

  • Each of our lawyers passed California's rigorous bar exam on their first attempt.
  • We have a 95 percent success rate in contested civil trials.
  • Founder Michael Rooney has been included in the National Register's Who's Who in Executives and Professionals, an honor achieved by only a very small percentage of lawyers nationwide.

Making Your Case

If you want to modify a divorce-related agreement, you need to be dealing with a substantial change in circumstances such as a layoff, or an illness or a new job that would significantly benefit your children but also require you to relocate. If you have such a real need or reason, you can obtain a post-divorce modification by negotiating with your former spouse or by going directly to court and asking a judge for the modification you want.

In either case, getting the help of an experienced attorney early on will be extremely beneficial. The same holds true if you've been asked to negotiate a change informally or have received legal notice that your ex-spouse is seeking to have the court modify an existing order.

We are known for achieving outstanding results through negotiation and aggressive representation at trial. Just as important is our commitment to understanding your needs and seeking out ways to make the process work to meet those needs.
