Adapting Family Law Orders to Life’s Changes Through Post-Judgment Agreements
Life rarely stays the same—especially for families. Changes such as a new job, loss of income, relocation, remarriage, or shifts in a child’s needs can make an existing family law order outdated or unworkable. When circumstances evolve, a post-judgment agreement can be an effective way to bring a court order back into alignment with your current reality.
At Allison Rub, P.A., we help families throughout Miami and surrounding areas pursue agreed-upon modifications to divorce decrees and other Florida family law orders. Our approach is solution-focused, practical, and tailored to your family’s changing needs.
Common Types of Post-Judgment Agreements in Florida
Post-judgment agreements can be used to modify many aspects of a final family law order, including:
- Alimony or spousal support modifications
- Parenting plan and child custody changes
- Parental relocation agreements
- Child support adjustments
No two families are the same. We take the time to understand your situation and help craft agreements that reflect your goals while complying with Florida law.
How Post-Judgment Agreements Are Created
While every case is different, post-judgment agreements generally follow a similar process:
- Negotiation: The parties discuss proposed changes and work toward mutual agreement
- Written agreement: The agreed-upon terms are reduced to writing and signed by both parties
- Court submission: The agreement is filed with the court for review
- Order ratification: If approved, the court issues a new order incorporating and ratifying the agreed changes
We guide clients through each stage, ensuring that agreements are clearly drafted, properly filed, and positioned for court approval.
Enforceability of Post-Judgment Agreements
A post-judgment agreement is enforceable only after it has been approved by the court and incorporated into a new or amended order. Private agreements alone are not enough. Once the court enters the modified order, its terms may be enforced just like any other family law order, including through contempt proceedings if necessary.
We assist clients not only with forming post-judgment agreements, but also with enforcing them when compliance becomes an issue.
