Representing Clients in Uncontested Modifications
If you are seeking a Modification of a current child support or custody arrangement, this means that since the date the judge signed the judgment, there have been substantial changes in the circumstances involving the children or custody. These changes must be so substantial that they render the original Judgment regarding custody, support or visitation now unreasonable.
If you have questions about an Uncontested Modification, turn to our attorney at The Piatchek Law Firm, LLC in Springfield, Missouri. In an Uncontested Modification, or Cooperative Modification, both parties must be in full agreement about all aspects of what they are wishing to modify.

Most modifications are NOT uncontested or cooperative, in our experience; but the ones that are cooperative, we can help you with quickly and simply:
- Both parties agree that a modification is necessary
- Both parties are willing to cooperate with one another
- Both parties agree on all changes to child, child support, and custody issues
- Both parties are willing to sign appropriate legal documents for the modification
If both parties are 100% agreed on all issues, and both parties will cooperate, then one party hires an attorney, and in most counties, there is typically no court appearance required.
On average, during an Uncontested Modification there is not a thirty-day waiting period before the Judge will grant the modification. On average, we can have everything finalize within a couple of weeks after filing the documents with the court.
Uncontested Modification Benefits
The benefits of an Uncontested Modification
- Typically an Uncontested Modification costs less than a contested modification;
- Typically takes less time than contested proceedings
- Typically no court appearance is required in most counties (if one party hires an attorney)
Please understand, that in an Uncontested Modification our firm can only represent ONE of the parties, usually the party asking for the modification. Attorneys in Missouri will not represent both parties, because this would likely be a conflict of interest.
