Dedicated Cook County Attorney For Enforcing Or Modifying Court Orders
Court orders are put in place by family law judges to finalize the settlements determined in divorce and family law cases. They are legal mandates that everyone is expected to follow. However, situations may arise where your circumstances substantially change, making the order unfair or unworkable. In other cases, where the orders are simply not followed, you may need to seek help from the courts to make the other party comply.

My firm has focused on family law for years; this intense concentration has given me valuable experience in resolving issues both inside and outside of family courts.

What Do I Need To Know About Modification Of Court Orders in Illinois?
People always say that the only constant in life is change. And that still applies even if a family court order is issued. These arrangements can and should be modified if circumstances change for you, your children, or the other party involved. When this happens, you can seek a modification through the courts.
Getting a modified court order involving child custody, for example, is often a difficult matter and requires the help of an experienced modification order lawyer. Courts are often reluctant to disrupt a child’s life, even when circumstances dictate it. You will need to show the court that circumstances have changed so much that the current order no longer works.
Changed circumstances may include:
- Job losses or other financial changes making support issues difficult
- Additional children from a new relationship needing child support
- Child relocation
- Changes in the health condition of a child, parent or ex-spouse
- The endangerment of a child under current custody orders
- The remarriage of an ex-spouse
Modification of court orders may be more likely where both parties can agree on necessary changes, but where children are concerned, the court will always make its decision based on what is in the best interests of the child. I can help you in any kind of situation involving modification of court orders. I’ll advocate for you and make sure your case is well heard.
What About Enforcing A Court Order?
Are your current orders not being followed? Is your parenting time agreement not being kept? Are child support payments not being made on time or paid at all? These are all matters that can be enforced through the courts, with the help of a knowledgeable family law attorney.
I take pride in not just being a family lawyer that you turn to, to resolve current issues but one that seeks to have the law upheld on those issues. I’m well prepared to help you get standing court orders enforced by a judge. Courts have various means for enforcing orders, such as holding violators in contempt and more. In Illinois, parents who violate custody orders may face both civil and criminal charges.
In all cases where court orders have been ignored or violated, you will need to present evidence to the judge in court hearings. I can provide valuable information for the preparation and presentation of your case in such hearings. I can help you provide the necessary arguments and make sure your voice is heard in these matters, too.
