Enforcement & Modifications of Existing Orders

Divorce Law Firm in Tampa

As part of Florida divorce proceedings, the court establishes orders for child custody, child support and child visitation. However, over time, circumstances frequently change.  As children age, their needs change, and with that, the type of visitation may need to change as well. Children may develop health problems or require special educational needs. If one parent develops alcohol or substance abuse problems, for example, in the best interests of the children, the other parent may petition for full custody.  Child visitation schedules set by court order also encounter the need for enforcement or modification. Work-related issues may interfere with visitation or a parent may move out of state, requiring the court to review the relocation and institute a new visitation schedule.

Often, collecting child support becomes a problem. Fathers and mothers may refuse to make child support payments, or may be unable to do so for any number of reasons, ranging from illness to loss of a job. When child support is not being paid, the State of Florida has a long list of remedies, which may be exercised in attempt to collect payments.
