Post-Judgment Family Issues Attorney
In Macomb County
We provide the assertive and approachable legal counsel you need to modify or enforce your existing family law judgments.
Adapting To life After Divorce
The judgment of divorce or a final custody order is intended to provide stability, but life is rarely static. Whether you have experienced a significant change in income, a relocation, or a shift in your child’s needs, the Law Offices of Julie A. Hlywa is here to help you ensure your legal documents reflect your current reality.
Modifying An Existing Court Order
In Michigan, you can petition the court to change an order if you can prove there has been a “proper cause” or a “substantial change in circumstances.” Common areas for modification include:
- Child support: Adjusting payments based on the 2025 Michigan Child Support Formula due to job loss, a new promotion, or changes in healthcare costs.
- Child custody and parenting time: Updating schedules as children grow, or when a parent’s work schedule or living situation changes significantly.
- Spousal support: Seeking a reduction or increase in alimony based on shifting financial needs or the recipient’s remarriage.
- Change of domicile: Legal representation for parents seeking to move more than 100 miles away or out of state with their children.
Enforcing Your legal Rights
A court order is only effective if it is followed. If your former spouse is failing to meet their court-ordered obligations, Julie A. Hlywa provides the assertive representation needed to hold them accountable. We help you address:
- Non-payment of support: Taking action when child or spousal support payments are consistently late or missing.
- Parenting time violations: Intervening when a parent is withholding visitation or failing to follow the agreed-upon pick-up and drop-off schedule.
- Property settlement compliance: Ensuring that assets, such as a marital home sale or the division of a pension (QDRO), are handled according to the final judgment.
- Debt responsibility: Addressing situations where a former spouse has failed to pay off joint debts as ordered by the court.
