Colorado Springs Modification Lawyer
The family court system offers an alternative to the complex appeals process in the form of modification. If you must abide by a court order, it is essential to meet your obligations faithfully and adhere to the terms and conditions included in the order. However, life can pose unexpected challenges, and sudden, unpredictable events beyond your control may influence the elements of your family court order in numerous ways. When these things happen, the modification process can enable you to implement reasonable changes to your family court order to meet your obligations considering your new reality.
The attorneys at Johnson Law Group understand that our clients in the Colorado Springs, CO, area may need to change their family law orders in numerous ways, from adjusting child support arrangements to changing custody rights.
A Colorado Springs modification lawyer can be a critical asset as you navigate the modification process. Call (719) 624-8712 to schedule a consultation today.
Understanding the Modification Process
Modification is simple in theory. The party needing a modification is the petitioner, and the other party beholden to the family court order is the respondent. The petition begins the modification process by completing a modification petition that clearly explains the desired change and their explanation as to why the change is both necessary and reasonable. Once the court receives this petition, a hearing date is set, and the court notifies the respondent of the petition. Both parties can speak on the proposed modification at the hearing.
During the hearing, the respondent can recognize that the requested change is necessary and reasonable, and they may agree to its implementation with little to no argument. Other respondents may request reasonable changes to the requested modification, and a negotiation process might ensue. In other cases, a respondent may vehemently oppose the requested modification and submit contradictory evidence that negates the petitioner’s argument.
If a modification petition is approved, the case judge may implement the desired change immediately. The modification process is ideal for changing any family court order about child custody, child support, spousal support, or related issues.

I came to the Johnson Law Group during a time of extreme stress. Andrea Dalton accepted my case and made me feel right at ease. She is compassionate, gives sound advice, and helped me obtain over $20,000 that my ex husband was illegally withholding from me. I appreciate her for giving me the confidence to stand up for myself. If I have any issues with my ex in the future, I will not hesitate to reach out to Andrea for help.

Before working with Johnson Law. I had a previous attorney who completely screwed us over. He definitely only took us on for the money. He had no communication, mixed us up with different clients and so much more. So my husband and I were very scared working with a different attorney and getting screwed over again but we took the chance with Johnson law. We are currently working with Shana Velez, Kristina Contreras, and Julie Hernandez. After expressing my concerns because of the previous attorney they have kept amazing communication with me. They know who they are speaking to every time, they know my case, and they definitely don’t try to just take my money. They do their best to save me money as much as they can! These ladies have done such an amazing job with my case so far! 10/10 highly recommend! I will be back with another review once we are done working with them :)- Sierra S.

Myles is the best representation for anyone who has to go through an APR case. From day 1 he was very welcoming and attentive to me and what I was going through. I always felt very respected by him and the other members of his firm. Myles always took the time to really investigate any information or things involved with my case. I knew he was truly invested in my best wishes. When there were deadlines that needed to be met, they always were. If I was ever confused about a process, paperwork or court proceedings Myles took the time to explain and make sure I was comfortable and understood what was going on. All the way through Mediation. He was an absolute success and I could not have asked for better representation. I will always recommend Myles to anyone in need an attorney.

I wasn’t familiar with the process of child custody but I must say not only did Myles and his team direct me properly but it was a process that wasn’t money motivated. Very professional group, I was constantly informed of any step or move needed to be made, and they took a very stressful situation and made it a very pleasant storm. Thank you Myles and Johnson group for everything!”- Dwight

I was in a very difficult custody/child support dispute with my ex-spouse. The Johnson law Group and in particular Elizabeth Gregory was phenomenal with their representation of my case. Working with her was such a wonderful experience, kept our goals at the top of every conversation, knew all points and avenues that we could take, never lead us in the wrong direction. I would recommend this firm to anyone who is going through a family law issue.- Liz
