You may wish to modify certain aspects of your divorce judgment, such as alimony or child support/custody, as your and your family’s circumstances change. You can file a motion with the court to modify or terminate a spousal/child support or a child custody order. However, courts will only modify or terminate orders upon showing a substantial change in circumstances since the original order. In addition, you must also prove that a requested change to a child custody order will serve the child’s best interests.
