How Florida Courts Determine a “Substantial Change in Circumstances”
In Florida family law, many court orders are not permanent. Orders related to child support, alimony, time-sharing, and parental responsibility may be modified when circumstances change significantly. However, not every change qualifies. Florida courts apply a specific legal standard known as a substantial change in circumstances before approving most post-judgment modifications. Understanding how courts evaluate this standard can help individuals set realistic expectations when considering whether to pursue a modification.

The Times I Remember with Dziadek
My grandfather recently passed away – he is forever in my heart though. It was Thursday afternoon, and I am sitting upstairs in Equinox Hudson Yards, preparing myself to have lunch, and then I receive a text from my mom. I did not think much of it in that instance, but when I opened it, I knew right away. I read it. It hurts me now even typing about it.

Instant Result Dua to Bring Someone Back to You
Destiny, Attachment and the Reality of Wanting Someone Back When someone walks away from your life, the pain is rarely just about that person. It is about the future you imagined with them. It is about conversations that stopped midway. It is about plans that suddenly collapsed. In that emotional state, people search for an Instant Result Dua to Bring Someone Back to You, hoping for immediate reversal of separation. But before asking for reunion, you must ask yourself a deeper question: do you miss the person, or do you miss the feeling they gave you? Islam does not ignore emotional pain; it teaches us how to process it with dignity. Allah created love, attachment, and longing. But He also created destiny (Qadr). When attachment becomes stronger than trust in destiny, the heart becomes restless. The first step in making a powerful dua is not recitation — it is emotional alignment with Allah’s wisdom.
