In order to modify or enforce an order from a court, you will need to go back to that court. Your lawyer will file a motion that describes what you want and why. The other parent (or your ex-spouse) will have a chance to respond, and then the court will schedule a conference to discuss the issues.



Depending on the facts and circumstances, it may be handled fairly quickly. For example, if child support should be modified and the re-calculation is straightforward, it can usually be resolved by agreement. Other modifications take more time, for example if living situations have changed, and parental rights and responsibilities need to be reconsidered.
