Details That Matter Most

Your post-judgment case begins with a thorough comparison of your original order and your current circumstances. You'll provide documentation such as updated pay stubs, proof of relocation, medical records, or school schedules that demonstrate the change is substantial and ongoing. Brookfield families often need adjustments due to shifts in work commutes or children's extracurricular commitments.

Levine Litigation prepares motions to modify or enforce existing orders, ensuring all filings meet Connecticut procedural standards. Strong documentation reduces delays and positions you for favorable outcomes. You'll understand the court's criteria for approving changes and the evidence required to meet those standards.

If the other party fails to comply with an existing order, enforcement actions can include contempt filings, wage garnishment, or license suspension. Your attorney will represent you during hearings and ensure the court takes appropriate steps to restore compliance.

Connecticut residents facing post-judgment issues often have questions about what qualifies as a substantial change, how long modifications take, and what happens if compliance isn't restored. These answers clarify the process and set realistic expectations.

Why Locals Choose This Option

Connecticut courts consider changes substantial if they are significant, ongoing, and affect the child's welfare or a parent's ability to meet obligations. Examples include job loss, relocation, serious illness, or changes in the child's needs.
What qualifies as a substantial change in circumstances?
Most modification cases resolve within three to six months, though contested matters involving custody disputes or complex financial issues may take longer. Court schedules and negotiation timelines influence overall duration.
How long does a modification take?
Yes, relocation often triggers custody modifications, especially if it affects the child's school, routine, or relationship with the other parent. You'll need to file a motion and present evidence of how the move impacts your child's best interests.
Can I modify custody if my ex relocates?
You can file a motion for contempt, which may result in wage garnishment, fines, or even jail time. Connecticut courts take enforcement seriously and have multiple tools to compel compliance.
What happens if my ex ignores a support order?
While you can file motions on your own, an attorney ensures your documentation is complete, your arguments meet legal standards, and your case is presented persuasively. Representation significantly increases the likelihood of favorable outcomes.
