Family law orders are based on the circumstances that existed at the time they were entered—but life changes. Jobs shift, children grow, incomes rise or fall, and families relocate. When those changes are significant, the existing court orders for timesharing, child support, or alimony may no longer reflect your family’s current reality. At Dane Family Law, we help clients seek or defend modifications to ensure that legal obligations and parenting arrangements remain fair, practical, and in the child’s best interests.
Under Florida law, a party requesting a modification must generally show a substantial, material, and unanticipated change in circumstances since the last order was entered. This is a high legal standard designed to promote stability while still allowing for flexibility when needed. Examples include major income changes, job loss, relocation, changes in a child’s educational or medical needs, or circumstances affecting a parent’s ability to care for the child.
Our firm assists with modifications involving child support, alimony, and parenting plans/timesharing schedules. We evaluate whether your situation qualifies for modification, help you gather and present supporting evidence, and guide you through mediation or court proceedings as needed. Whether you are seeking relief from an outdated order or opposing a change that could disrupt your family’s stability, we provide knowledgeable and compassionate advocacy every step of the way.
At Dane Family Law, our approach is both strategic and sensitive. We understand that modifying a family law order is about more than paperwork—it’s about adapting to new realities while preserving fairness and protecting the well-being of everyone involved. Our goal is to help you move forward with clarity and confidence, knowing your legal arrangements truly fit your life today.
Child support orders are based on current financial information, but life changes over time. A substantial change in circumstances, such as a job loss, increase in income, change in parenting time, or new medical expenses—may justify a modification of child support. Either parent can request a modification, but the change must be significant, ongoing, and supported by proper documentation.
At Dane Family Law, we guide clients through the process of petitioning for or responding to a modification request. Our team helps you assess whether a modification is appropriate, prepare accurate financial affidavits, and present your case clearly and persuasively to the court. We know that stability matters, and we work to ensure any change reflects your family’s true needs.
Life rarely stands still. Over time, changes in work schedules, school needs, health, or relocation may make an existing parenting plan impractical or no longer in the child’s best interests. In Florida, either parent may seek to modify a parenting plan or timesharing schedule, but the law requires proof of a substantial, material, and unanticipated change in circumstances since the last order was entered.
At Dane Family Law, we help parents evaluate whether their situation meets this legal standard and guide them through the process of seeking or defending a modification. Common reasons for modification include changes in employment, relocation, a parent’s remarriage, concerns about a child’s well-being, or evolving educational or medical needs. Our team assists clients in gathering documentation, testimony, and evidence necessary to support their position and protect the child’s stability.
We understand that modifying timesharing arrangements can be emotional and complex. Our approach balances sensitivity with assertive advocacy, focusing on practical, child-centered solutions that reflect your family’s current realities. At Dane Family Law, we’re committed to helping parents adapt their parenting plans thoughtfully and legally, ensuring the outcome remains fair, workable, and in the child’s best interests.

Court orders involving child support, alimony, or timesharing are legally binding—and when one party fails to comply, the consequences can be serious. At Dane Family Law, we help clients enforce existing court orders and protect their rights through skilled, strategic legal action. Whether you are seeking to compel compliance or defending against an enforcement claim, our goal is to resolve the issue efficiently while minimizing unnecessary conflict.
When a parent or former spouse does not meet their obligations, Florida law provides several enforcement tools. For financial support orders, remedies may include income withholding, bank account garnishment, suspension of driver’s or professional licenses, property liens, tax refund intercepts, or contempt of court. In parenting or timesharing disputes, the court can order make-up time, require a parent to attend a parenting course, or impose sanctions for repeated violations. Each situation is unique, and our firm tailors an enforcement strategy to fit your specific needs and objectives.
We also represent clients who are accused of noncompliance. In some cases, nonpayment or missed timesharing occurs for legitimate reasons—such as job loss, illness, or misunderstandings regarding the court order. We help clients present evidence, address arrears, and pursue modifications when appropriate to avoid ongoing penalties.
At Dane Family Law, we approach enforcement cases with balance and integrity. We understand that compliance issues can create stress, disrupt family routines, and impact children. Our firm focuses on restoring stability and accountability while protecting your legal rights and promoting solutions that allow families to move forward constructively.

When a parent fails to comply with a child support order, it can cause serious hardship for the child and the other parent.
