The process
How it usually goes
Review the order
We read your current judgment and what has changed since.
Try agreement first
Many changes can be agreed and filed without a hearing.
File a motion
If needed, we ask the court to change or enforce the order.
New order
An updated order that reflects your family today.
In more detail
Family court orders are written for the family as it was. When something important changes, the order can usually be changed too.
If the other side is not following an order, there are clear steps to enforce it. We start with the least confrontational one that will work.
Questions people ask
How big a change do I need?
Can we change it ourselves?
