This happens whether I'm using customizations or not.
So my method is to insert extra lines to push the start
of a paragraph to the next page, or if need be, to pull
the lower margin of a page down a line or two. My defaults
allow me the space to do either, and the visual indicators
show me exactly where the cheats are at a glance. I find
it a helluva lot easier to delete a now unneeded paragraph
marker or to pull up the bottom of a page frame than to deal
with all those extra styles. YMMV.

You could, of course, create paragraph styles called,
Override2pt, Override4pt, Override6pt, etc., each of
which is designed to be blank and, like a precision
washer, add a specific gap wherever installed.
