A quick definition of modification order:

A modification order is a change made to a court order that was previously decided in a divorce case. This change can be related to child support, custody, visitation, or alimony. The change can be agreed upon by both parties or ordered by the court. To make a modification, the person requesting it must show that there has been a significant change in circumstances since the original order was made.

A more thorough explanation:

A modification order is a legal order that changes the terms of child support, custody, visitation, or alimony after a divorce has been finalized. This order can be agreed upon by both parties or ordered by the court.

In order to request a modification order, the party seeking the change must show a significant change in circumstances since the original order was entered. This change must be material and have a significant impact on the current situation.

  • Example 1: A father who was previously ordered to pay child support loses his job and is unable to make the payments. He can request a modification order to reduce the amount of child support he is required to pay.
  • Example 2: A mother who was previously awarded sole custody of her children remarries and wants to move out of state with her new spouse. She can request a modification order to change the custody arrangement and allow her to move with the children.

These examples illustrate how a modification order can be used to change the terms of a divorce agreement when there has been a significant change in circumstances. In both cases, the parties are seeking a modification order to better reflect their current situation and needs.
