The issue of changing jobs during Orlando or Central Florida divorce and paternity cases is not as uncommon as you might think. When you make a job or career change or become aware that the other party in your family law matter has done so, be sure to inform your Orlando divorce lawyer or Orlando paternity lawyer immediately.
If the change was made by the opposing party, your attorney may do additional discovery to determine if there has been a significant change in income due to the change. If there has been a substantial decrease in income, the reason for the change will also be important. If you have changed jobs, you can expect the same questions from the opposing counsel. Most likely, you will be asked to complete an updated financial affidavit as well.
Income can play a large part in determining the financial aspects of family law matters. So, any significant change in income may be scrutinized carefully by both parties. If you have not retained an experienced Orlando divorce attorney or Orlando Paternity attorney to assist you with your Central Florida family law matter, contact Family Law of Orlando to schedule an initial consultation with attorney Wade P. Luther. Contact us by email or by calling (407) 835-9900.
