As an experienced post judgment modification attorney - lawyer serving the Orlando and Central Florida area, Andrew Storie, Esq., has successfully aided many families over the years in achieving their goals in modifications and family law legal matters.

Modifications of Child Support

Modification of child support is always possible. But there must be a substantial and material change in circumstances in the income, usually of the parent who is paying the child support. It is important that the guidelines are properly calculated from the beginning. Modifications are possible but can be costly considering attorneys’ fees and costs. Full financial disclosure is necessary, including mandatory disclosure. There is the possibility that the application of the child support Guidelines on its own will warrant a Modification of the court Ordered child support.

Modifications of Child Custody / Visitation

A modification to a child custody or child visitation order may requested by either parent. Sometimes a modification to a child custody or child visitation order is a joint request when both parents agree upon the modifications being requested. It is important to remember that even if both parents agree on the modifications, unless a court approves the child custody and child visitation agreement, it is impossible to enforce the changes if one parent chooses not to honor the mutual agreement.

When a parent wants to change an existing court order and the other parent does not agree to the change, he or she must file a motion requesting the designated court to modify the court order. In most cases, the court will only modify an existing order if the parent requesting the child custody or child visitation modification can show a "substantial change in circumstances" which warrants such  a request, and that the modification request is in the best interest of the child / children.

Modifications of Spousal Support - Alimony

The amount of Spousal Support one spouse must pay another after a divorce determined by the court, based upon a number of mitigating factors. It is important to remember that after a divorce, the circumstances and financial standing of either spouse often changes over time.

Because of these changes, either spouse may formally request the court to modify the standing court order regarding spousal support. Alimony modification requests are often made after a spouse looses a job or their earning potential changes, the spouse receiving spousal support gets re-married, or the spouse receiving the spousal support has a significantly higher change in the level of his or her income.

Spousal Support is not intended to punish the spouse which make more money, but to provide financial support so that the one receiving spousal support - alimony may continue living at the level that he or she has become accustomed to during the marriage. Any change to either parties financial standing may prompt a spousal support modification order by the court.
