When Are Modifications Necessary?
Modifications are necessary from time to time when there are significant changes in a parent’s life. These changes may be substantial enough to warrant modifications to an existing court order.
Significant changes may include:
Financial Changes: A drastic pay raise or cut, work demotion, or a lay-off, which may lead to an increase or reduction in child support payments.
Physical Location: If one parent is relocating out of state or the country, a change in the visitation agreement is necessary.
Living Situation: If one parent lives with a new partner, creating an unhealthy living situation, a modification in custody or visitation may be appropriate.
Enforcement Actions
When a divorce happens or paternity is established, court orders are put in place to ensure the parties receive the appropriate financial support or time with their children. When one party fails to meet these obligations, the other party can pursue an enforcement action. An enforcement action is a legal avenue through the courts to enforce a prior court order for support, custody, or visitation, and essentially make the negligent party follow through on his or her legal responsibilities.
