Modification and Enforcement
Life is full of changes, and some can affect your ability to meet the terms of your divorce agreement or court order. To adjust your agreement, you need a modification from the family law court. Failure to do so may lead to an enforcement order. If you’re not receiving child support or alimony as required, taking enforcement action is crucial. An experienced attorney can help protect your rights and ensure you receive the support you’re entitled to.
In Florida, alimony, child support, child custody, and time sharing can all be modified. However, they can only be changed if you have experienced a significant and previously unforeseen change in circumstances. These include:
- New job
- Loss of job
- Retirement
- Remarriage
- Cohabitation
- Major illness or injury
If you have experienced a change in circumstances that warrants a modification of your support order, you should contact an experienced family law attorney. An attorney can help you file a petition for modification and represent you in court.
In addition to helping you modify your support order, an attorney can also help you enforce your existing support order. If the other party is not paying child support or alimony as ordered, an attorney can file an enforcement action on your behalf.

- The court will only consider a modification if the change in circumstances is substantial and permanent.

- If you are seeking to enforce a support order, you will need to prove that the other party is not complying with the order.
