Changes That Warrant a Modification
In order to modify custody, support, alimony, or any other established family court orders, it is necessary to show that one of the parties has sustained a change in his or her life that has a direct impact on the order in question.
Types of changes may include:
- The gaining or loss of a job
- The gaining or loss of income
- A subsequent marriage
- The birth of additional children
Regardless of the life changes you have experienced, it is essential that any alterations to standing orders be made with a court's approval. If you decide to change the terms of an order, even with the consent of the other party, the terms are not enforceable if a court does not approve. You may also be subject to contempt actions if you are found to be in violation of an established order.
Enforcement of Family Court Orders
It is possible for a court to help an individual seek the enforcement of an order. If a parent is not paying his or her child support or visitation arrangements are not being adhered to, the party who is in violation of the order may be held in contempt and subject to additional legal action.
