Post-Judgment Modifications
When life changes, your court orders should reflect it. A post-judgment modification lets you ask the court to change an existing order after your case is finished - most often for child custody/visitation (parenting time), child support, or spousal support. If your circumstances have materially changed since the last order, you may qualify.
When can you request a modification?
You can request a modification when there’s a substantial, material change in circumstances since the last order - for example, a job loss, promotion, or significant income change; a shift in parenting time or a new work schedule; relocation or a move-away request; changes in a child’s health, educational, or special needs; health issues or a disability affecting a parent’s ability to work or care for a child; or evidence that the current order isn’t being followed (sometimes calling for both modification and enforcement). For custody and visitation, judges focus on the child’s best interests; for support, the court looks at updated incomes, timeshare, and other guideline factors.
What can be modified?
Post-judgment modifications can address child custody and visitation, child support, and spousal support. Custody and visitation changes may adjust legal or physical custody, parenting schedules, holidays, and transportation; courts prioritize stability and the child’s best interests, so a clear proposal with facts showing how the change helps your child is essential. Child support can be increased or reduced based on updated income, timeshare, childcare costs, health insurance, and other guideline inputs, if you’ve lost income or your timeshare has increased, you may qualify for a reduction. Many spousal support orders are modifiable (though some agreements make support non-modifiable); in deciding changes, courts look at need, ability to pay, duration of the marriage, efforts toward self-support, and other statutory factors.
