Helping Parents Request Modifications to Prior Court Judgments Post Judgment Decisions Can Apply to a Variety of Family Law Issues
Parties generally hope that at the end of a divorce or paternity action, the matter is finally resolved. However, certain issues may need to be revisited by the family law court. The following matters often need to be adjusted over time:
- Child support
- Spousal support
- Child custody and placement
For example, support payments may need to be modified if the income of one or both parties changes significantly. Additionally, custody or placement may also need to be modified whenever there has been a substantial change of circumstances since the entry of the last order. There may also be a reason to return to court if one of the parties is not complying with a previous order of the court. For example:
- a house may not have been put on the market as ordered
- a parent may not be getting access to the children
- a court ordered amount of support may not have been paid
- or a debt may not have been paid off or kept current as agreed
