Modification of Final Judgment in Florida

There are times when a final judgment entered in a family law matter is no longer practical or otherwise needs to be adjusted. Maybe one of the spouses lost his or her job, and alimony payments are just not possible. Maybe, due to a child's changing educational needs, custody arrangements need to be revisited. Maybe a parent received a significant and unexpected raise, and child support needs to be recalculated. Whatever your changed circumstances, The Law Firm of Adam B. Cordover, P.A., will guide you through the process of modification of a final judgment.

Modification of Alimony

Most types of alimony awards may be modified or terminated if there has been a substantial change in circumstances since the final judgment was originally ordered. Whether your income has significantly increased, your former spouse’s income has substantially decreased, your former spouse is engaged in a supportive relationship, or there has been some other change, we can help you determine whether to seek a modification or termination of an alimony award.

Modification of Child Custody

If there has been a substantial change in circumstances since entry of a custody order, you may be eligible to modify your parenting plan, including issues of time-sharing and parental responsibility. Such circumstances which may warrant a modification include (i) failure to honor a time-sharing schedule, (ii) parental behavior that detrimentally impacts the welfare of the child, or (iii) deterioration of a parent's mental or physical health. Contact us for a consultation and to help you determine whether your custody order is eligible for modification.

Modification of Child Support

If a court has ordered you to pay or receive child support, and since entry of the order there has been a substantial change in circumstances, you may be eligible for a modification of the child support order. For example, you may have lost your job, or the other parent may have received a significant, unexpect raise. To determine whether you should apply for a modification of your child support obligation, contact The Law Firm of Adam B. Cordover, P.A.

Defending Against Modification

We can also help if you have received notice that someone seeks to modify your family law final judgment. We will discuss with you options for defending against modification, such as (i) showing that there has been no substantial change in circumstances or (ii) in the case of child custody or child support, laying a foundation to prove that modification is not in your child's best interests.
