Divorce Modification and Enforcement


Divorce modification may be needed if circumstances have changed the terms
of your original divorce decree.

Divorce Modification Lawyer - Port St. Lucie, Stuart FL and The Treasure Coast

When a change in circumstances could have an affect on your final divorce decree - divorce modification may be what you need.  Modifying a Florida divorce requires that individuals who wish to file a court order modification provide a substantial change in circumstances. However, Florida law doesn't specifically define what amounts to a substantial change.

Therefore, it's important to consult with an experienced Divorce and Family Law Attorney like Efrain Aponte who can assist you through each step of the divorce modification and/or enforcement process. The nature of evidence required for approval of court order modifications and the paperwork involved can be complicated and confusing even if the other party agrees.

Common Types of Divorce Modification

Keep in mind that modifications to divorce agreements, child custody arrangements, and time-sharing plans have a set of requirements different from the initial case requirements.  Be sure you have good representation to guide you through the process.

  • One parent wants to re-locate or move out of state and wants to take the child with them.
  • Income has changed - Child Support calculations may need to be revised.
  • Change of schools or new financial requirements for the child.
  • Visitation/Time Sharing schedule changes.
  • One spouse got a higher paying job but refuses to increase his/her payments.
  • Spouse is getting remarried and you want to terminate alimony.

Enforcement of
Court Orders

If your spouse is failing to hold up his or her end of a court-ordered arrangement, you need to go through proper legal channels for enforcement. The court can create sanctions for failure to comply and help compel the other party to fulfill their obligations of the agreement.
