What You’ll Learn:
Step-by-Step Guidance on Modifying Court Orders in Family Law
If your circumstances have changed since your original court order, you may need to file a Motion to Change. In our upcoming Family Law Now After Hours live event, “How to File a Motion to Change,” we’ll break down the legal process, necessary documentation, and key considerations for a successful motion.
- Understand When a Motion to Change is Necessary: Learn what qualifies, such as changes in income, decision-making responsibility, parenting time, or support needs.
- Gather Supporting Documentation: Collect financial statements, pay stubs, medical reports, or other records to justify your request.
- Fill Out the Required Forms Correctly: Ensure all court forms are completed accurately to prevent unnecessary delays.
- File the Motion with the Court: Submit your paperwork to the court that issued the original order.
- Serve the Other Party Properly: Follow legal guidelines for notifying your ex about the motion.
- Prepare for a Response or Opposition: Be ready for your ex to contest the motion and have counterarguments prepared.
- Consider Mediation Before Going to Court: Alternative dispute resolution may help you reach an agreement faster and more affordably.
- Be Prepared to Explain the Change in Circumstances: The court requires proof that the change is significant and warrants modification.
- Attend Court Hearings as Scheduled: Arrive prepared, dressed professionally, and with all necessary documentation.
- Follow Up on the Court’s Decision: Implement any new orders promptly and maintain records of compliance.
