Modification of Support Orders
With the changes in the economy and continued instability in jobs, support modifications are almost a way of life. If you lost your job, or if your partner was fortunate enough to get a higher-paying job, alimony and child support orders can be modified with little difficulty. We assist clients in proving the change of financial circumstances and determining a support amount that is better suited for the situation.
Modifying Child Custody and Visitation
Time-sharing plans can also be modified where there is a substantial change in circumstances. The parent seeking the modification must show that he or she is acting out of the best interests of the child. At BRDW, we can help parents seek custody and visitation modifications due to substantive changes in circumstances, such as:
- Changes in work schedules
- Changes in school schedule and extracurricular activities
- Parent wants to relocate to another city or state
- Parent can no longer care for a child
Relocation issues are taken very seriously in Florida. If your child lives with you the majority of the time, you cannot relocate without a thorough review of your intentions and the situation. Our primary family law attorney, Kelli H. Crabb, will work with you to help ensure the best interests of your child are represented.
Modification Disputes
While some modifications go smoothly, such as when both parties agree to the new plan, others are full of dispute and controversy. Even if the modification seems appropriate, some people choose to contest it because of the financial impact that may result.
If you are concerned your former partner is manipulating income, trying to keep your children from you, or seeking modification for other inappropriate reasons, we can represent your interests. We also represent parties who are seeking the modification, but are facing difficulties from the other party. While we strive to resolve these matters without going to trial, we will aggressively represent your interests in the courtroom if necessary.
