Modification & Enforcement

When a final order no longer fits a family’s circumstances, or when one party fails to comply with its terms, Florida laws provide ways to seek changes or ask the court to require compliance. At Epstein Family Law, P.A., our South Florida modification & enforcement lawyer helps families in post-judgment and court order disputes.

Modification of Final Judgments of Dissolution of Marriage

A final judgment entered in a divorce case may address alimony, child support, parental responsibility, and timesharing. After entry of judgment, a party may ask the court to modify certain terms when the facts meet Florida’s legal standard.

Modification of Final Judgments of Paternity

Final judgments in paternity matters may also require later changes. A parent may seek modification of child support, parental responsibility, or timesharing when circumstances have materially changed and the law allows relief. These cases require careful review of the existing order, the present facts, and the child’s current needs.

Enforcement & Contempt

When one party fails to follow a court order, enforcement may be available through a motion for enforcement or contempt. Florida Family Law Rule of Procedure 12.615 governs civil contempt in support matters and requires notice and an opportunity to be heard.

Enforcement & Contempt Actions (Alimony, Child Support Timesharing, Parental Responsibility)

Enforcement issues may involve unpaid alimony or child support, denied timesharing, or failure to comply with parental responsibility provisions. A South Florida modification & enforcement attorney can help evaluate available remedies and the proper procedural steps.
