If your divorce is final, but your circumstances have changed, you may be able to seek a modification of the terms of a custody, visitation or support order by filing a request with the court. Likewise, if your ex-spouse is not abiding by the terms of a divorce judgment, you can file contempt proceedings to ask the court to enforce its prior order. In either situation, you want an experienced lawyer to advocate for you, one who has handled similar matters for others.
