In the State of California, there are essentially two forms of post-judgment motions that can be filed in a family law court.
Modification Cases
The first is referred to as a modification motion and it is filed in order to modify an order, judgement, or decree that already exists. This can sometimes include orders that were set by a court outside of the state. The motion to modify an existing order can be petitioned for any party that wishes to change an order because there was a change in the circumstances surrounding the motion. To petition for a modification, however, it is necessary to prove that the change in circumstances actually occurred.
Some of the most common types of cases that could require a post-judgement motion for modification are: Child support cases, Child custody orders, Orders of visitation, and Spousal support orders.
Collection or Enforcement Cases
The second form of post-judgement motion is filed when there is a need to collect or enforce a previous court-ordered obligation. Common cases that could require this type of post-judgement motions are: When it is necessary to collect overdue child support payments and/or alimony, Collecting a past due amount for unreimbursed medical care costs and expenses for underage children, When there is a need to enforce a payment set by a judgement, and Collecting on orders set to pay certain divorce-related expenses.
