Modification of Agreements and Orders

Divorce Order Modifications Attorney Riverside, California

Often, orders which may have been previously entered by the Court will have to be modified over time to deal with the changing circumstances of the family, or individual. For instance, perhaps one of the parties wants to move from Corona County out of State and needs to modify a Judgment prohibiting such a move. Perhaps the economic circumstances of the parties have changed making a modification of the amount of Child or Spousal Support necessary.

Of course, the parties may agree to a modification. If they do, a stipulation (agreement) may be drafted, signed by the parties, and submitted to the Court to reflect the modification, and become the court order.

However, if the parties do not agree, the general method in California for modifying orders is to file an "Order To Show Cause" that will provide for a hearing date. The court date for the hearing will depend upon whether an emergency exists, and/or court congestion.
