Florida Family Law Attorney: Modification Actions
The court recognizes that circumstances change; when they do, your court-ordered alimony, child support, and child custody and visitation arrangements should change accordingly.
If you, your ex-spouse or your child's other parent have experienced a substantial change in circumstances, such as the loss of a job, a substantial increase in income or a remarriage, you can petition the court for a modification action.
At Tamara K. Holden, P.A., Family Law Offices, we represent clients who need a modification of anything in their divorce decree or settlement agreement, including alimony, custody, support and visitation arrangements.
Many people are unaware that court orders can — and in some cases should — be modified. You cannot rely on an informal agreement between you and your ex-spouse. It won't hold up in court.
Even if you are incarcerated and unable to earn money to pay child support, for example, there are specific rules that apply regarding child support obligations. It is important to speak with an attorney to know how to proceed.
We will listen to you describe your problem and give you our best legal analysis. Our attorney, Tamara K. Holden, will explain your options and the costs associated with each. If we can't help you, we will tell you so directly.
Do you want to change child custody arrangements so you can move with the kids to another area of the country? Do you want to stop paying college tuition because your child has dropped out and doesn't intend to reenroll? Does your ex-wife live with someone or has she remarried? Do you need to hire a lawyer to modify your do-it-yourself divorce?
For skilled legal help with modification actions, please contact Tamara K. Holden, P.A., Family Law Offices, in Largo or Tampa.
