After a dissolution of marriage (divorce) occurs, the circumstances of either party may change. When this occurs, it may be necessary to seek a modification of a marital agreement or standing court order relating to family law issues. In most cases, a request for a post-judgment family law modification will be met with resistance from the other party. In order to provide the best opportunity to obtain a successful change to an existing court order, a person should seek the legal advice and representation of experienced legal counsel.

In order to modify a court's standing family law court order, a person must demonstrate that a substantial change in circumstances has occurred and that the change is not deemed to be temporary.

Circumstances that may justify a family law post-judgment modification include:

• A change of employment status;
  
  
• A 15% or greater change in income of either party;
  
  
• The relocation of either parent to another city;
  
  
• The minor child is not doing well under the current time-sharing plan;
  
  
• Or other relevant circumstances that may affect a standing court order.

Post-judgment marital and family law modification requests may include, but are not limited to:

• Child Support Modifications: A parent may make a request to change the existing court-ordered amount of child support owed when a substantial change in the financial circumstances of either parent occurs. Generally, a 15% or greater increase or decrease in income of either parent will be considered a substantial change of circumstances. However, any modification must still be in the best interest of the child or children;
  
  
• Child Custody/ Visitation / Parenting Plan Modifications: A parent may make a request to change the existing time sharing plan (i.e., the custody and visitation order) if a substantial change in circumstances occurs that warrants a modification of the time-sharing plan. Again, the modification must be in the best interest of the child or children;
  
  
• Alimony (spousal support) Modifications: A spouse may make a request to change the existing court-ordered amount of spousal support/alimony owed if they can demonstrate a substantial change in the circumstances surrounding the spousal support/alimony.
