Well, you'll have to appear in court in most cases but you can appear by telephone if the parties are willing. An uncontested modification is a relatively simple matter but if it's likely to be contested you could expect to put up a fairly good sized retainer to get anyone's attention. Even at my ridiculously cheap rates you could burn through a couple thousand dollars pretty quickly.
