Modification

Boynton Beach, Florida Modification Lawyer

After the initial family law case has ended, an individual may discover that a modification to child support orders, or child custody orders may need to be made. Modifications of these court orders are always made according to the best interests of the children. In fact, the interests of the parents are always considered secondary to those of the child.

Our staff at the Law Office of Maureen K. Gour, P.A. is dedicated to confidently handling modifications and other family law matters. We strive to help clients understand their rights and options regarding modifications.

Modifications involving support orders are often highly contested issues. The courts often demand documentation that provides insight as to why the standing order should be changed. Under Florida law, child support can only be increased or decreased due to substantial changes in circumstances, including visitation time, income of the parents, or emancipation of the minor. Changes in the income of the former spouse can also affect the size and frequency of alimony / spousal support payments.

Relocation

Many custody modifications stem from one parent's desire to move out of the state. Relocation issues can be complicated and may require documentation of reasons for the move, such as a new job or a recent marriage. Our firm can help you gather all of the necessary information that supports or opposes these modification requests.
