Even after a divorce decree is finalized, changes in the financial, marital or civic status of either party, or the needs of the minor children, may make it compelling to revisit the orders of the court.

Alimony and child support awards are generally time-limited, but the loss of a job, loss of a business or an investment, may make payment of these obligations at their current rate unfair or impossibly burdensome long before the deadline set by the Court expires. Legal considerations or even completely unexpected circumstances, such as one spouse being convicted of a serious crime, might make it an urgent matter to revisit custody and visitation arrangements post judgment. The modification process is available to parties in need of changes to their prior orders.

The general requirement to modify a court order is the broad category of meeting the test of “substantial change in circumstances.” This can be a daunting burden to prove or disprove. That is why your best chance of achieving the result you want is to hire a lawyer who knows how to navigate the nuances of divorce and family law and the modification process through the court system.
