Boca Raton POST-JUDGMENT MODIFICATIONS LAWYER
Most people are familiar with the concept of appealing a court’s decision. This is typically reserved for criminal cases in which a defendant feels as though an error of law resulted in an unfair sentence or failure of justice. If you have a standing family court order in place, you might wonder whether you have any ability to change the elements of the order in a similar way, but the reality is there is a much simpler option that does not require a protracted appeal that challenges the initial ruling.
Helping Boca Raton Clients With Family Court Order Modifications
The Boca Raton family courts recognize the fact that anyone can face unforeseen challenges in their life and very sudden changes in circumstances through no fault of their own. Many of these events can impact their standing in family court orders in various ways. For example, sudden job loss could leave a parent unable to meet their child’s support obligation. In addition, a sudden catastrophic injury could leave a parent unable to manage their parental responsibilities under their custody order. Ultimately, if you have a family court order and have recently experienced a sudden change in your life, the modification process allows you to address it efficiently without the need for an appeal.

What to Expect in a Modification Case
The modification process in Boca Raton family court begins with a petition for modification. The party requesting a change to their court order must carefully explain the change requested and provide their explanation for requesting the change. Once the court receives their petition, a hearing is scheduled, and all parties beholden to the order will be able to testify on the matter. A family court judge will oversee the hearing and listen to every party’s side of the issue. It’s possible that your request is perfectly logical and reasonable, and the other party may see little to no reason to contest it. However, it’s also possible for them to put up some resistance, and your attorney can help you address this problem should it arise. When the other party hotly contests a modification, it could take multiple hearings before the judge can resolve the matter. Whatever your situation entails, you will be best prepared to meet your case’s challenges when you have an experienced Boca Raton modifications attorney assisting you.
