Reasons for Modifications of Court Orders in Florida<\/h2>\n
In Florida, a former spouse or parent may ask a court to modify a divorce-related court order if either party\u2019s circumstances, or a child\u2019s, have significantly changed since the order was issued. Most modifications will require showing that the change has been substantial, was unanticipated at the time of the original order, is continuing for some time, and will continue into the future, such as:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Loss of income for a paying ex-spouse or parent<\/li>\n
- Diagnosis of a serious medical condition that results in a change of ability to earn income or requires a change of parenting responsibilities<\/li>\n
- Remarriage or cohabitation by either ex-spouse<\/li>\n
- Birth or adoption of another child<\/li>\n
- Changes in a child\u2019s health or education needs<\/li>\n
- Relocation of one parent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Whatever your current situation may be, divorce-related court orders can often be amended to remain compliant with Florida law, or modified to serve the best interests of your children. It\u2019s important to know, however, that courts have broad discretion when it comes to modifying court orders, which means you must be very precise and back up your request with evidence to obtain the exact modification you want. Vice versa, if your ex-spouse is seeking to make a modification you do not agree with, you must show with specificity why your existing arrangement should not change. Sometimes, when both ex-spouses acknowledge the need to address a significant life change that\u2019s affecting the workability of a court order, they can work together to file an agreed-upon modification request. In all of these scenarios, a family lawyer in Orlando from Arwani Law Firm can help you.<\/p>\n
