- Failing to comply with a Settlement Agreement
- Failing to follow a Parenting Plan or Timesharing Schedule
- Alimony Enforcement
- Child Support Enforcement; and/or
- Attorney’s Fees Enforcement
Modification
Life doesn’t stand still, and sometimes changes in circumstances mean that an existing court order — such as alimony, child support, or a parenting plan — needs to be updated. At Novey+Gonzalez, we help clients through every step of the modification process. Our team understands the legal standards involved and provides clear guidance to help you pursue adjustments that reflect your current situation and support your family’s needs.

Our goal is to help you understand your rights and make informed decisions that protect your family’s interests.

Whether you are planning to marry or are already married, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can offer important legal protections.
