When Can an Alabama Family Court Order Be Modified?
Family orders can be modified if either party can prove there has been a material change in circumstances that affect the original terms of the order. This change can be in the child’s educational or medical needs, either parent’s income, either party’s relocation, or other circumstances related to the child or parents. With child custody modification, the petitioner will need to prove the modifications are in the best interest of the child.
Family court orders can also be modified as an enforcement action. For instance, if a parent withholds visitation, the court may penalize them by modifying their visitation terms to accommodate the other party.
Actions That Can Lead to Enforcement Cases
Enforcement actions in family law and divorce matters are initiated when one party fails to comply with the terms of a court order. These actions can be initiated by either party or, in some cases, by the court itself. The goal of enforcement actions is to ensure that the terms of the court order are carried out.
Some common reasons for enforcing divorce and family law orders include but are not limited to the following:
- Failure to pay child support. When a parent fails to make timely child support payments, it can lead to financial hardship for the custodial parent and their children.
- Withholding visitation. Denying a parent their scheduled visitation time can have a negative impact on a child's emotional well-being and their relationship with both parents.
- Disobeying custody orders. If a parent violates custody orders by taking the child outside the agreed-upon jurisdiction or failing to return the child at the designated time, it can disrupt the child's routine and cause emotional distress.
- Refusing to provide medical insurance. When a parent fails to maintain medical insurance coverage for their child, it can put the child's health at risk and lead to significant financial burdens.
- Interfering with parenting time. A parent may engage in behaviors that interfere with the other parent's parenting time, such as making false accusations or trying to alienate the child.

“She communicated with me throughout the process.”

“She went above and beyond”
Due to a misunderstanding, a warrant was issued in Alabama, even though we live in Virginia and hadn't been to Alabama for many years. We were apprehensive about the possibility of traveling to Alabama during these uncertain times. Luckily, Ms. Robinson was able to quickly and professionally interact with local law enforcement and the district attorney's office to get the case dismissed without us having to be there. Throughout her handling of the case, she went above and beyond to make sure we were aware she was doing everything in her power to assist us. We are deeply appreciative of her and her efforts and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing representation.- Lynn -
“Amazing and highly recommended.”
I contacted Ruth Robinson on a Saturday regarding a warrant that was issued for failure to appear. On Monday, she filed a notice of appearance as my attorney and filed a motion to have the warrant recalled. The court told her they’d recall the warrant and set a new court date. Ruth was very professional, diligent, and went above and beyond for me. She listened to everything I told her, requested me to send her several screenshots and filed the necessary paperwork to get the warrant recalled and a new court date. Amazing and highly recommended if you want or need someone who is passionate about practicing law and treating you like you’re a priority.- Terry -

Ruth Robinson is a thorough and passionate criminal defense attorney. When I found myself facing criminal charges for something that was completely bogus in a corrupt governmental atmosphere, she has worked with me diligently and continues to do so. I trust her completely and she has always worked hard for me. Better than any attorney I could ask for through and through.- Anonymous
