Florida Judgment Modifications
Final Judgments are not always final. Circumstances change
in life and people do not always do what they are ordered
to do. In either case, you may need an attorney to
assist you in modifying your Final Judgment due to a change
in circumstances or to enforce your Final Judgment to insure
your ex-spouse complies with the orders of the Court.
Modification of a final judgment is available when there
has been a change in circumstances, such as a relocation
by one parent to another state, a change in the economic
circumstances of one of the parties, or when the other
parent is failing to meet their responsibilities under
the Final Judgment. Modifications may be sought
for child support, primary residential care, parental responsibilities,
visitation, relocation, even alimony.
A Change in Primary Residential Care is the most frequent
form of modification I see in my practice. When the other
parent is interfering with visitation, not paying child
support, failing to comply with the requirements of Shared
Parental Responsibility or is otherwise not complying with
the Final Judgment then we can go back to the Court and
ask them to modify the Final Judgment to put the parties
in a situation better suited to the circumstances. |
