Court orders aren’t set in stone. We help you adapt them, with clarity, strategy, and a steady hand. When you finalized your divorce, custody plan, or support order, it reflected what life looked like then. But what about now?

Maybe you lost your job. Maybe your child’s needs changed. Maybe your ex isn’t following the plan.
That’s when it’s time to talk about a modification.

At Justin Andersson, P.A., we help Florida families legally update their court orders so they stay fair, enforceable, and aligned with real life.

Under Florida law (§ 61.13 and § 61.14), you can request a modification if there’s been a “substantial, material, and unanticipated change in circumstances.”

That might include:

• Job loss, major raise, or new employment
  
• Change in a child’s health, schedule, or education
  
• A parent moving (especially more than 50 miles)
  
• Safety concerns or violations of a parenting plan
  
• Refusal to follow a timesharing or support order
  
• Military deployment or relocation
  
• New marriages or financial responsibilities

We’ll help determine whether your situation qualifies — and how to present it to the court effectively.

If both parties agree to the change, we can draft a Supplemental Agreement and file it with the court for approval.

If not, we file a Supplemental Petition to Modify and request a hearing. We’ll prepare your evidence, financial disclosures, and all supporting documentation — and represent you throughout the process.

If your current parenting plan no longer works, you can request changes to reflect:

• School or activity conflicts
• Age-based schedule changes
• New living situations
• Parental interference or missed visitation
• Relocation needs

The court will revisit the best interests of the child — not just parental convenience.

You can seek an increase or decrease in support due to:

• Income changes (15% or $50 difference from prior order)
• Job loss, disability, or retirement
• Changes in timesharing
• New expenses for the child (medical, education, etc.)

We use Florida’s Child Support Guidelines and ensure all income is properly disclosed.

Spousal support can be modified if:

• The paying party has a substantial income change
• The recipient remarries or enters a supportive relationship
• Either party retires or experiences major health issues

Note: Bridge-the-gap alimony is not modifiable, but others (like durational or rehabilitative) may be.
