Your Legal Solution Starts with a Call
At Hand & Toker, LLC, we help clients across New Jersey modify, enforce, or challenge family court orders after the final judgment has been entered. It doesn’t matter if you need to make an adjustment or hold someone accountable; our experienced attorneys are here to guide you through the process of post-judgment with clarity and strength.
Just because a court order is in place doesn’t mean life will stay the same. Circumstances change, people move, financial situations evolve, and sometimes, the original terms of your divorce or custody agreement no longer work. That’s where post-judgment legal services come in.
You can trust our team at Hand & Toker to advocate passionately for your family’s best interests with expertise and care.
A post-judgment matter is any legal issue that arises after the court has issued a final decision in your case.
This typically happens in family law situations like:
These judgments are legally binding, but they’re not always set in stone. When life changes significantly, or when one party doesn’t follow the court’s orders, you have the right to return to court and ask for a legal adjustment or enforcement.
Courts recognize that no one can predict the future. That’s why family law allows for modifications to certain orders, but only when there has been a substantial change in circumstances.
You may be eligible for a post-judgment modification if:
It doesn’t matter if you’re seeking or opposing a change; we’ll help you present the strongest possible case. Judges don’t modify orders lightly; you need to prove that the change is both necessary and in the best interests of the child (if applicable).
If your ex is not following the terms of your divorce, custody, or support order, you don’t have to tolerate it. You can ask the court to enforce the judgment.
Common enforcement issues include:
Enforcement actions may result in wage garnishment, fines, driver’s license suspension, or even jail time in extreme cases. Our team will help you gather the necessary documentation and take swift, effective legal action to protect your rights and restore compliance.
Sometimes, a person may believe the court got it wrong. If you disagree with the original judgment, you may be able to file an appeal or request reconsideration. These are not easy paths. They require strong legal reasoning, clear evidence, and quick action.
You could have grounds to challenge a judgment if the judge made a legal mistake, if key evidence was missed or kept out unfairly, or if new information has come to light that could change the outcome of the case.
At Hand & Toker, we’ll help you determine whether an appeal or reconsideration is possible and worth pursuing. These matters move fast, and strict deadlines apply—so it’s important not to wait.
If you’re thinking about challenging a court decision, contact us right away. We’ll guide you through the process and make sure your case gets the careful attention it deserves.
Some people try to handle post-judgment issues on their own, but it’s rarely as straightforward as it seems. These situations are often emotional, legally complex, and deeply personal, especially when they involve children or financial support.
An experienced family law attorney can help you make sense of your rights under the original court order. We’ll take a close look at your circumstances to determine if a modification is even possible and what your chances are for success.
If changes are warranted, we’ll help you gather the right documentation and present a clear, persuasive case to the court. And if you’re facing enforcement or a challenge from the other party, we’re here to protect your interests and advocate on your behalf.
At every step, our legal team works to safeguard your future and your family’s stability because the outcome of a post-judgment issue can impact your life for years to come.
At Hand & Toker, LLC, we know that life doesn’t stop after a judgment is signed. We’re here to help you adapt, respond, and move forward when things don’t go according to plan.
