Five Decades Of Legal Excellence

Family Law Order Modifications And Enforcement

Circumstances change after a divorce, and sometimes existing court orders are no longer appropriate for the present-day reality.

If you are seeking a modification to a divorce order or trying to stop a change that will adversely affect you, the attorneys at Coates, Battle & Tyree are here for you.

We have more than four decades of experience handling complex divorce and family law issues for clients in Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover counties and throughout surrounding areas.

Modifying An Order

We advise people who need to change the terms of a child custody, spousal support or child support order. We counsel people about the likelihood that a judge will order a change in the original order or agreement.

Our family law attorneys can then negotiate a new agreement with your former spouse or develop and present the evidence favoring your position at a court hearing. We represent either the person seeking the modification or the person opposing it.

Post-Order Enforcement

What are your options if you are not receiving the alimony or child support ordered? We can represent you if a payer defaults in child support or alimony payments. If you are trying to get a support order enforced, we can prove the default and ask the court for penalties.

If the other party is seeking enforcement against you, we can advise you about your alternatives and develop a mutually acceptable resolution to the dispute.
