Understanding The Process Of Post-Judgment Modifications

Individuals and families can modify various court orders, including:

However, they can only petition for a modification under certain circumstances such as:

  • Job change, including a promotion or job loss
  • Relocation that impacts custody or parenting time
  • Signs or evidence of domestic abuse
  • Instability or safety concerns at a parent’s home
  • Changes in this child’s developmental health
  • Changes in the child’s wishes

Whoever petitions for the post-judgment modification must prove that one or more of these reasons apply to their family’s situation. Otherwise, courts will not consider a modification.

Every family is different. Your circumstances are unique, and you need an experienced family attorney to advocate for your rights. We take the time to understand your goals and individual situation to provide you with the assistance you deserve.
