Modification of Existing Orders

Life circumstances can change, making it necessary to modify existing court orders for parenting time, decision making, child support or spousal maintenance. We assist clients with post-decree modifications to ensure that their agreements remain fair and practical. Whether you need to adjust financial obligations, modify parenting time or decision making, or enforce an existing order our experienced legal team is here to provide guidance and strong advocacy.​

 

Life doesn’t stand still. Changes in income, employment, living arrangements, health, or your child’s needs can all affect the practicality of existing court orders. When circumstances shift, you may need to seek a modification to parenting time, decision-making responsibilities, child support, or spousal maintenance. At AWH Family Law, we help clients navigate these changes with clarity, compassion, and skilled legal guidance.

​

Post-decree modifications allow parents and former spouses to adjust existing orders to better reflect their current realities when circumstances change. Whether you are looking to increase or decrease financial support, change a parenting schedule, modify decision-making authority, or enforce a court order that’s not being followed, our legal team is here to help you pursue the outcome that serves your family’s best interests.

 

We assist with a wide range of post-decree issues, including but not limited to:

• Modifying parenting time

• Changing decision-making responsibilities

• Increasing or decreasing child support or spousal maintenance

• Enforcing court orders that are not being followed

• Addressing relocations or significant changes in a child’s circumstances

 

Colorado requires a showing of substantial and continuing change in circumstances to justify many modifications. We work with you to evaluate your case, prepare persuasive evidence, and advocate effectively - whether through negotiation, mediation, or court

proceedings.

 

If your current court orders no longer reflect your life or your child’s needs, contact AWH Family Law.
