Washington Lawyers Modifying And Enforcing Court Orders

When you ask people what they want from their legal situation, they almost all answer with some variation of “I want stability.” Knowing what is expected of you, what you can expect of others and that everyone will be held accountable is key for your own future planning. When your life changes, you may need to change those expectations. Jobs, homes and personal schedules frequently change. Your custody or support orders may need to change too.

You need to trust your lawyer to do what is best for you. At Nunn Vhan & Lang, PLLC, our lawyers have more than 75 years of combined experience. They can help you secure the legal agreement that is right for you. Give us a call at 425-258-6860.

How Do Modification And Enforcement Work?

Our lawyers work closely with you and the Washington family law courts to make sure that you are able to obtain the modifications you need and that you get the financial support to which you or your children are entitled.

Family court orders are made to address the future as well as they can, but changing circumstances can mean those orders need to be modified. In order to do this, you have to petition the court. The court will then review the changes in your family’s situation and determine if the changes are substantial enough to merit an update to your child support obligations, parenting plan (custody schedules) or spousal support agreements.

If your former spouse or your child’s other parent is not fulfilling their obligation (i.e., missing payments or failing to follow a parenting plan schedule or custody agreement), our attorneys can file for a court order to force them to comply with the agreement. Failing to observe an agreement can lead to contempt of court or other legal consequences.
