Requesting A Court Order Modification

The family law cases, the most common court orders you will see are child custody agreements, child support orders and alimony payments. Even though they are legally binding, this does not mean that they can’t be changed later on.

Parental Relocations

Parents move away – whether for work or other opportunities – which can put a strain on a child custody arrangement. Parental relocations may mean difficulty seeing a child as planned or difficulty returning a child at a specific time each week. What once worked for the family is no longer feasible, which means a modification request is necessary.

Financial Changes

Substantial changes to an individual’s financial situation – whether an increase in income or a loss of income — can lead to a court order modification request. While job loss can lead to the reduction or termination of a court order, an increase in income may cause the recipient of payments to ask to have the obligation amount increased.
