A large portion of our practice at Family Focused Legal Solutions is helping people navigate their post-judgment modification legal issues. These are legal issues that arise after the parties’ divorce. If the parties were never married, a post-judgment issue would be one that arises after the initial custody and/or child support determination.
Most post-judgment modifications involve one party seeking to enforce or modify an existing order. Occasionally, people need a legal solution for a new issue that was not previously resolved (or perhaps even contemplated) in a previous agreement or order.
Here are some examples of post-judgment modifications that we handle for our clients:
When a client comes to us with a post-judgment modifications legal issue, we first determine whether the problem can be resolved without court intervention (i.e. without leaving it to a stranger wearing a black robe to decide your or your children’s fate). Sometimes we can accomplish a full resolution simply by directly negotiating with the other party or their attorney. Sometimes, we (or the parties on their own) can resolve the problem with the assistance of a mediator.
Whether the problem is resolved with a written agreement called a Consent Order (which is then filed with the court to become an official court order), or a judge decides what the result will be, the resulting order is called a post-judgment order. That order then supersedes any inconsistent orders previously entered, including a Marital Settlement Agreement.
