Verified current as of July 25, 2026

A Petition for Modification is used to ask a court to change an existing court order, such as one involving child support, custody, or alimony, when circumstances have significantly changed since the original decision. Someone who is already involved in a court case and has a current court order would use this form if they need that order updated because of major changes in their life, such as a job loss, income increase, or change in living situation.
