Enforcement & Modification
When You Need to Modify or Enforce Your Rights
Florida family law recognizes that circumstances change, and that the arrangements for child support or alimony set forth in a court order or property settlement agreement might need modification. The law also recognizes that the enforcement of support obligations or other provisions might require judicial intervention.<
If you need advice about the modification or enforcement of any family court order or agreement, contact the Law Office of Paul H. Bowen, P.A., located in Palm Harbor, Florida to learn about your rights and your legal alternatives.
Modification of any continuing obligation can be ordered by a court if you can show that a material change in circumstances has occurred. As your attorney, my first job will be to advise you whether the change in your situation is likely to be substantial enough to justify seeking an order for modification.
Assuming that the changed circumstances represent a big difference in one party's needs or the other party's ability to pay, we'll go right to work gathering and organizing the evidence that you will need to present in court.
