Common changes that are typically approved by the court as grounds for modification in Florida include:

• Change in Income: A substantial increase or decrease in the income of one or both parents can be grounds for modifying child support or alimony orders.
• Relocation: If one parent wishes to relocate with the child, it can trigger a modification of custody or visitation arrangements.
• Change in Health or Disability: Significant changes in the health or disability status of a parent or child may warrant adjustments to custody, visitation, or support orders.
• Change in Employment Status: Losing a job, changing jobs, or significant changes in work schedule can impact a parent's ability to fulfill their obligations and may require modification of support or visitation.
• Remarriage or New Relationship: Changes in marital status or cohabitation may impact financial circumstances and could be grounds for modifying alimony or child support orders.
• Child's Needs or Preferences: As children grow older, their needs and preferences may change, which could necessitate modifications to custody or visitation arrangements.
• Substance Abuse or Criminal Activity: If one parent develops substance abuse issues or engages in criminal activity, it could affect their ability to parent effectively and may justify changes to custody or visitation orders.
• Educational Needs: Changes in a child's educational needs, such as special education requirements or enrollment in a different school, might necessitate modifications to custody or visitation arrangements.
• Domestic Violence: Instances of domestic violence or abuse can prompt modifications to custody, visitation, or protective orders to ensure the safety and well-being of all parties involved.

How Do I Modify My Court Order?

If you are eligible to seek a modification of your court order, you may need to go to court to get the modification you need. In most cases, you will need to file a petition with the court to request a modification. You may also need to attend a hearing to present evidence and argue your case for a modification. If you are seeking a modification of a child-related order (i.e. child custody, child support, or parenting plan), you will need to demonstrate that there has been a substantial change in circumstances that warrants a modification.

Our Orange Park modification attorneys can help you prepare and file your petition, represent you at your hearing, and help you take all the necessary steps to get the modification you need.
