What Is a Modification of Orders?

A modification is a change of some kind in a parenting plan or child support order. A change in job or a significant increase or decrease in income can affect the amount of child support ordered. Parents can also ask the court to change the parenting plan if they are experiencing a change in their work schedules or other circumstances. A modification can also be made to accommodate a child's special needs, such as an overnight stay with a grandparent.

Enforcement in Family Law Matters

Enforcement occurs when a parent has not paid their child support as ordered by the court. If a parent fails to make payments, a wage garnishment can be initiated by the parent paying child support. If the parent still does not make the payments, they can be held in contempt of court and may face additional penalties.
