Addressing Change Through Post-Judgment Agreements
Last updated on August 26, 2025
One of the few constants in life is change. This is especially the case for families. Whether it is a job loss, income increase, remarriage or relocation, a major change in circumstances may call for adjustments to a previously issued Florida family law order. A post-judgment agreement can be a powerful tool in getting such an order back in alignment with your family’s evolving needs. We at Yablen Valiente, based in Coral Gables, Florida, stand ready to help you use this tool. We guide families throughout the Miami area through the process of seeking family order modifications by agreement. Turn to our experienced post-judgment agreement attorney for the solution-focused support you need.
Common Florida Post-Judgment Agreements
Post-judgment family law agreements come in various forms. Common types include:
- Alimony modification agreements
- Child custody/parenting plan modification agreements
- Parental relocation agreements
- Agreements for changing child support orders
Whatever type of post-judgment agreement you come to us for help with, our family law lawyers will take a tailored approach aimed at providing solutions that align with your family’s unique circumstances.
Forming A Post-Judgment Agreement
Below are the main steps for creating such agreements for modifying a divorce decree and other family law orders:
- Negotiating terms: The parties discuss and reach a consensus on necessary modifications.
- Documenting the agreement: The modification terms are put into writing. Both parties then sign the agreement.
- Court filing: The agreement is presented to a local court for review and approval.
- Order change: Upon approval, the court issues a new formal order reflecting the modifications outlined in the agreement.
Our post-judgment agreement attorneys can guide you through this process, offering personalized support at every step.
Are Such Agreements Enforceable?
Yes, post-judgment agreements are enforceable, but only if the formal court order is changed to reflect the agreement’s terms. This is why getting court approval of the agreement is such a critical step. Once the order change occurs, the terms of the post-judgment agreement can be enforced using mechanisms similar to those for enforcing an original divorce order such as contempt of court. Our team, with over 50 years of combined experience, is here to provide you with trusted advocacy when you need help pursuing post-judgment agreement enforcement.
