Handling After-Divorce Modification
in Port St. Lucie, Florida

After a divorce is finalized, there may be a need to change a child custody or alimony arrangement. A modification may be necessary if there is a substantial change in circumstances since the agreement was made. The law office of Steven G. Glucksman, PA, helps people determine if postjudgment modification is necessary and helps them file detailed requests for change.

Valid Reasons for Modification of Orders

I work with people after a divorce and handle requests for changes—called modifications—to a judge's orders for child custody, child support, alimony and visitation. Once a judge has issued a divorce decree and judgment, only another decree can legally modify an arrangement.

For a modification or change to child custody, visitation, child support or alimony, you must show a substantial change of circumstances, as well as show that the modification would be in the best interest of the child.

A modification is necessary if there is a substantial change in circumstances since the judgment, such as a parent's new job, remarriage, allegations of child abuse or an older child's preference in custody or visitation. With more than 35 years of legal experience, my firm is equipped to assist in determining if your change in circumstances warrants a modification and pursue the change you need.
