You can file a Motion to Modify the existing terms of the Judgment any time when it would be in the best interest of the child or children. Some courts require you to plead and prove a substantial and continuing change in circumstances such that it would be int he best interests of the parties for the existing terms to be changed. If you are in a situation where you need the existing terms of a Judgment changed, you may contact me for a consultation. I have handled hundreds of these cases in the thirty-three years that I hae been practicing law.
