Modifications and Enforcement Attorney Serving Brevard County, Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, Rockledge, Merritt Island and Titusville

There are many circumstances which might justify modification of a court order, or when it becomes necessary to bring some type of enforcement action against a party after a judgment has been entered. The reasons for modification vary, but it occurs when a person's circumstances have changed substantially, either the parent or the child, so as to justify a modification of the previous judgment.  The burden of proof is upon the party wishing to make the change, and change is disfavored by the courts absent substantial evidentiary support.
