Post Decree Modifications

If you have lost your job due to the recession, been transferred out of state on business or military service, or suffered a personal injury that limits your mobility — you could qualify for a post-decree modification to your divorce settlement with the help of an Orlando family law attorney.

I can work with you to seek a smooth modification to your spousal support, child support or child custody and parenting time obligations.

Your grounds for a modification should constitute a “substantial change in circumstances,” according to Florida law, and be considered “significant, material, permanent and involuntary.”

Sudden disability, serious illnesses or your ex-spouse is now in a supportive relationship are reasons commonly given for modification requests. Additionally, a sudden change in work, health or lifestyle routine can require a post-judgment modification in your Florida divorce settlement agreement.
