However, life can pose unexpected challenges, and sudden, unpredictable events beyond your control may influence the elements of your family court order in numerous ways. When these things happen, the modification process can enable you to implement reasonable changes to your family court order to meet your obligations considering your new reality.

Understanding the Modification Process
Modification is simple in theory. The party needing a modification is the petitioner, and the other party beholden to the family court order is the respondent. The petition begins the modification process by completing a modification petition that clearly explains the desired change and their explanation as to why the change is both necessary and reasonable. Once the court receives this petition, a hearing date is set, and the court notifies the respondent of the petition. Both parties can speak on the proposed modification at the hearing.
During the hearing, the respondent can recognize that the requested change is necessary and reasonable, and they may agree to its implementation with little to no argument. Other respondents may request reasonable changes to the requested modification, and a negotiation process might ensue. In other cases, a respondent may vehemently oppose the requested modification and submit contradictory evidence that negates the petitioner’s argument.
If a modification petition is approved, the case judge may implement the desired change immediately. The modification process is ideal for changing any family court order about child custody, child support, spousal support, or related issues.
