Post-Judgment Modifications

Boca Raton Post-Judgement Modification Lawyers

Skilled Help with Post-Judgment Modifications in Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach County, Broward County, & Miami-Dade County

As life goes on after a divorce or issuance of a child custody order, individual and family circumstances are not set in stone, but rather experience changes naturally and for various reasons. A child support, child custody, or spousal support order may be subject to modification with a family court’s approval. Even property division may be readdressed if it is shown that either spouse failed to disclose all assets.

At Gladstone, Weissman, Hirschberg & Schneider, P.A., we help clients determine whether they have justification to petition a court to modify a court order or reopen divorce deliberations. At the same time, we are transparent about what the legal costs would be to bring such a petition and help clients decide whether it is cost-effective. Our attorneys have helped many people review, negotiate, and litigate post-judgment issues and obtain modification of divorce decrees.

Court orders and aspects of divorce decrees that may be modifiable include:

  • Spousal support (also known as alimony): When the paying ex-spouse has had a significant reduction in income or the receiving ex-spouse has had a significant increase in assets, there may be grounds to propose a reduction of spousal support. Also, if the recipient spouse remarries or cohabits with a new partner, the other ex-spouse may be able to stop paying.
  • Child custody and/or child support: Either parent may have a change in work schedules, health, or family circumstances that make a change in shared parenting necessary. If a child is experiencing abuse or neglect with either parent, there may also be grounds to seek a modification of a custody order. Child support is generally modifiable based on substantial changes in the income of either parent. However, the paying parent will need to demonstrate a good faith effort to keep paying as originally ordered before petitioning for a reduction in child support.
  • Property division: If hidden assets come to light, litigation may provide an opportunity to balance the score for a spouse who was negatively impacted by an incomplete division of assets. This can be expensive, but when hidden assets were substantial, it may be worthwhile to pursue.

A judge will typically make post-judgment modifications only if there has been a substantial, unforeseeable, and permanent change in circumstance or clear evidence that assets were not fully disclosed during a divorce. However, support may sometimes be reduced for a limited time due to temporary job loss.

What Our Clients Have Said

REAL FEEDBACK FROM REAL PEOPLE
  • Kind, Competent and Extremely Effective

    “These types of legal matters can be annoying and emotionally draining. You and Denise were kind, competent and extremely effective. Thank you and I would enthusiastically recommend your firm to anyone seeking legal representation.”

  • I would highly recommend Tova Verchow representing your Divorce Case.

    “Tova and her team (Danielle & Alexa) have excellent follow-up skills in completing your case in a fair and timely fashion.”

  • I felt she did for me what she would have done for herself.

    I never write a review, but this time I think it’s important to share my experience to others who are going through the same situation:

    Divorce is not an easy process, with a minor child involved it is even more difficult. I had the pleasure of meeting Denise in the middle of a tough time emotionally and while in the middle of a current divorce process that seemed to have no end in sight. It was the most painful period in my life. I had a 1-year-old baby, a company to take care of, and my entire family living outside the United States, and I felt totally powerless. I was unable to finalize my divorce and to have a proper timesharing schedule that would be in the best interest of my child. Two prior attorneys tried for over a year, but couldn’t find the right strategy to move my process forward and release me from the deep pain of the divorce along with the never-ending high bills. The entire situation left me completely frustrated.

    Denise looked out for me and my daughter. She moved my case and gave me advice to help me deal with the situation. I was able to think better and to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I had a complicated case with a complex person who was not willing to agree to any proposal. I was ready to invest more and more money in what was a tough situation for me to go through. I was willing to go to trial and solve everything in court. Denise never let me lose the faith that it would end and that I would be okay. She set up the mediation as a final step and we were able to finalize my divorce with a detailed agreement that included the best interest of my daughter. I highly recommend Denise with all her knowledge and being so careful with the client. Denise made me feel heard, In what was a very tough time in my life, I trusted Denise and she led me to my freedom. I am extremely grateful to have found her. Denise never made me feel like a statistic, I felt she did for me what she would have done for herself. I am thankful for Denise and her support through this difficult process.”
