A post-judgment modification is a formal request to the court to change an existing order after a divorce or paternity judgment has already been entered. These cases are common when major life changes impact a party’s ability to follow the original terms of the agreement.
We assist with modifications related to:
Enforcement or Contempt Actions for Noncompliance
Florida courts will only modify a final order if there has been a substantial, material, and unanticipated change in circumstances since the original judgment. Common examples include:
A parent loses a job or gains significant income
A child’s needs increase due to health or education
A parent wants to relocate out of the area
A party refuses to comply with the parenting plan or support order
A remarriage or cohabitation affects alimony eligibility
We provide experienced representation for both modification petitions and responses, including:
Drafting and filing modification requests
Gathering supporting documentation (financial, medical, educational, etc.)
Representing you in mediation or court hearings
Addressing contempt or enforcement issues
Negotiating revised parenting schedules or support arrangements
