Orlando Divorce Attorney

Modification of Court Orders

At the conclusion of a divorce or child custody case, the judge will enter a final judgment that outlines exactly how the divorce or custody arrangement was settled.   If either party wishes to change or alter the judgment, he or she must seek a modification.  However, there are certain requirements that must be met before a person can file for a modification of a court order.  If you wish to modify or amend a court order, it’s important to speak with an experienced Orlando divorce lawyer before you take any legal action.  An attorney at our firm can review your situation to determine if you’re eligible for a modification, and advise you as to what you should do to ensure the modification process goes as smoothly as possible.

Florida Modifications Law

Under Florida law, a person can seek to modify their court order if there has been a substantial change in circumstances that has significantly affected their income.  At Ellerin Hutchinson, we understand there are things that could suddenly affect your ability to comply with a current court order.  A family emergency, sudden job loss, unexpected illness, a change in jobs that requires you to move, etc. are all valid reasons for needing to modify a court order.  We know you aren’t trying to evade your responsibilities or make things difficult for your family.  If you truly need to modify a court order, we are here to help.  We have a great deal of experience in this area of family law, and have helped many clients seek modifications of:
