Comprehensive Support for Post-Divorce Order Changes in Ontario
After a divorce has been finalized and the terms of parenting time, decision-making responsibility, child support, and property division have been agreed upon, a significant change in circumstances may warrant a variation of a current court order. This most often pertains to parenting or support orders. In these situations, it will be important to understand what rights and options you have in requesting a variation.
Our Ontario divorce modification & variation lawyers can help you. Since 1994, Feldstein Family Law Group P.C. has worked with people in Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, Oakville, Vaughan, and the surrounding areas to represent the interests of our clients in all divorce and family law matters.

Because we offer a range of services based on your budget and needs, you can also count on our affordability without sacrificing efficacy.

Modifying a Parenting Order in Ontario
To successfully and legally alter a final order regarding parenting time or decision-making responsibility or an agreement for support, you must initiate a Motion to Change at the appropriate court. In most cases, this will be the court that granted the original order.
There are two different routes wherein such a motion can be initiated and then executed:
- By filing a Consent Motion to Change (if you and the other parent are in agreement with the proposed change); or
- By filing a Motion to Change (if you and the other parent are not in agreement and you are the one proposing the change).
If your former spouse or partner has already filed a Motion to Change, and you wish to contest this, you can file a Response to Motion to Change.
Determining which forms to file and how to properly fill these out can be a daunting prospect. Our Ontario modification & variation lawyers can handle every aspect of your proposed variation for you, or we can offer unbundled legal services to address only those issues with which you need assistance. Regardless, our approach will be tailored to fulfill your needs.
Navigating Legal Changes to Support and Custody Orders

Understanding Child Custody Modifications in Ontario
In Ontario, navigating the complexities of child custody modifications can be particularly challenging, especially in cities like Toronto, Mississauga, and Oakville, where family dynamics and community resources vary widely. Local government entities, such as the Ontario Court of Justice and the Family Responsibility Office, provide essential resources for families seeking to understand their rights and responsibilities regarding child custody. However, the process can still feel overwhelming, especially when dealing with changes in circumstances that affect your child’s well-being.
Common pain points for parents in our area include job relocations, changes in income, or shifts in a child’s needs as they grow. For instance, if a parent in Vaughan needs to adjust their custody arrangement due to a new job opportunity, or if a child in Markham requires different support due to health issues, understanding how to initiate a Motion to Change is crucial. Our team is well-versed in the local laws and can help you navigate these changes effectively.
We recognize that every family situation is unique, and the emotional toll of these modifications can be significant. Our firm is dedicated to providing compassionate support tailored to the specific challenges faced by families in Ontario. Whether you are dealing with a contested custody arrangement or simply need to update an existing order, we are here to help you every step of the way.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to our knowledgeable team to discuss your child custody concerns. We are committed to helping families in Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, Oakville, Vaughan, and beyond find the best solutions for their unique situations.
