Circumstances Always Change. Let Our Punta Gorda Family Law Attorneys Help With Your Final Judgment Modification
After a final judgment is entered for a contested or uncontested divorce, it may seem as though nothing can be done to change it. There are instances, however, where an individual may be able to petition a modification based on a change in circumstances.
For example, if the judge enders a final judgment requiring one parent to make child support payments, but that spouse loses their job, they may be eligible for a child support modification. The same applies to spousal support orders. Other modifications could be for visitation or parenting time, where one spouse makes a petition to modify the final judgment so that they can benefit the life of their child through additional parenting and time together.
How To Obtain A Family Law Modification In Florida
If you believe the judge made a wrong decision or that the judgment was the result of legal misconduct of any kind, you may be able to appeal your case to a higher court. If your appeal is accepted, a brief of your case will be viewed by the appellate judge to see if there was indeed misconduct and the modification could be entered. You could also request a modification of a divorce judgment due to a change in circumstance.
If you are no longer able to comply with the court orders issued you at the time of your divorce, do not hesitate to consult with a Punta Gorda divorce lawyer to assist you in petitioning for a modification. You must complete detailed documents and serve a copy of your request form to the other parent. Having a lawyer by your side could ensure that you take all the steps to necessary to obtain a successful modification.
