 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.
